C/2019 Q1 Lemmon
more info
Comet C/2019 Q1 was discovered on 28 August 2019, almost one year before its perihelion passage. Later two series of pre-discovery observations were found from 2 January 2019 and 10 November 2018.
Solutions (GR and NG) given here are based on data span over 2.56 yr in a range of heliocentric distances: 6.80 au – 5.00 au (perihelion) – 5.56 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; however, they lead to escape this comet from the solar system on hyperbolic orbit (see future barycentric orbits).
