Hi all, I have a suggestion to make. Due to various reasons, it will probably be another two or three months before I'm caught up fully with the comet backlog....
Hi: Can SOHO do any type of solar gravity effects on star displacement? Known positions of stars and then the slight off set from the Sun's gravity? -- Clear...
... probably ... ... Hi Karl, I think that the most interesting comet in the backlog is SOHO-661 (C2,C3) found by K.Cernis 2003 Sep 08. It seems to be related...
Well, as it happens, I did 661 last friday (I've done up to 663 now). I usually only send 6-8 comets out at a time to Brian, so 661 will probably be put out...
Hi Michael, ... The amount of starlight deflection due to g.r. is only 1.76 arcseconds for the sun, while the pixel angular size for C2 is 11.4 arcseconds. So...
Hi all, just a short note that both above comets are not so clear Marsden group members. What we have seen and felt last year that their tracks were not...
The MPEC with the two prospective Marsden comets from August 2003 is out: http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/mpec/K04/K04J19.html A look at the orbital elements Q...
Hi, Maik-- You beat me to it, posting about these. I'll be very interested in hearing what Brian thinks. --Tony ... group members. ... exactly matching ... ...
For those trying to do whatever connections to other comtes: Here is an alternative orbit for 2003 Q1 that looks at least as stable as the one published by...
Hi again, this is a reply to Tony's posting with a new subject - I have allowed myself to integrate it in the original thread. ... Good question. As you have...
Hi, I have looked at the orbital solutions a little bit closer. The orbit for C/2003 Q1 is absolutely bad defined. The astrometry is not conclusive, I guess...
Hi all, I've just added the recent MPEC details to the site. For now, I've put Q1 and Q6 on the Marsden page, but I've separated them a little from the others...
Hi Karl and all, ... I did the same on my comet groups page (http://www.comethunter.de/groups.html) and have also given some comments. I intend to revise the...
Hi All, As Karl promised, a bunch of Meyer-group comets has just shown up in the latest MPEC: http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/mpec/K04/K04J21.html Observer details:...
Hi all, just to let you know that Brian does more or less have the same opinion about the two comets. Taking into account the uncertainties in observation,...
There is another possibility regarding these two comets that is worth considering. The day after I found 2003 Q1, I got an e-mail from David Seargent, who...

Hi all, I've made a minor modification to the report form. One or two of you (John in particular) were having problems with it deleting all your entries when...
Dear friends, sorry for bothering you with this OT. I got problems with my notebook and therefore some unreplied emails got lost. So if you sent me any emails ...
Hi all, you will surely have noticed the last batch of three MPECs with new orbits. The last one, (J59), includes Rainers suspected brother (sister?) of comets...
Hi again, ... If we assume that the period is about four years and if we also assume that C/2002 R5 is also connected the the two comets then 2002 R5 may...

Dear list, can anyone give me (off-list) a list of all new confirmed (secure) discoveries since Dereks last confirmations? I was off the whole week and have...
Hi all, ... thanks to all who answered. I am now up-to-date again. Also apologies to Karl - of course I meant Karl's confirmations, not Derek's. Cheers, Maik ...
Hi all, if it goes on like this then the Kracht group will have 50 members in maybe two weeks... ;) Maik -- If they give you ruled paper, write the other way....
For the probable new group with a nucleus consisting of C/1999 R1, C/2002 R5 and C/2003 R5 I have made a page showing the tracks of possible new group members...
