C/2019 O3 Palomar
more info
Comet C/2019 O3 was discovered on 26 July 2019, more than 1.5 yr before its perihelion passage. Later a series of pre-discovery observations were found going back to 14 May 2019. In the moment of orbit determination, this comet was still observed.
Currently, solutions (GR and NG) given here are based on data span over 4.13 yr in a range of heliocentric distances: 9.61 au – 8.82 au (perihelion) – 10.1 au. Orbits based on pre-perihelion and post-perihelion data independently were also obtained.
This Oort spike comet suffers small planetary perturbations during its passage through the planetary system that lead to a more tight future orbit (see future barycentric orbits).
