Dear all, The sungrazer website will be down for the entire weekend. It will go down at ~7:00pm (EST) today and stay off until ~7am (EST) monday. Please email...
Hi all, for those who are posting Meyer group claims in C3, i.e. in the pre-perihelion leg, before entering C2: I am not sure if there was any of the 65+ Meyer...
Hi all, you may look out for this new minor planet, announced in MPEC 2006-H57. With q =0.065 AU it is expected at perihelion on July 4, 2006. It will be...
Hi Maik, Interesting indeed! I show the predicted visual magnitude peaking at 13.4 on July 5th; however, this assumes that the object isn't a comet and thus...
Hi Maik and Rob, the last perihelion was about 1998 July 25 (if the orbital period is correct), but there were no SOHO/LASCO images at this time. The SMM...
Hi Rainer & Rob, ... the orbit is still uncertain, of course. Excluding of the two worst observations let the period drop to almost exactly 7 years. I first...
Hi all, ... todays DOU contained an improved orbit with P=4.14 years and q = 0.088 AU Cheers, Maik -- If they give you ruled paper, write the other way. *...
... Not really improved. The orbital solution is still ambigous. All solutions 4 < P < infinity are still satisfactory with approximately the same mean error. ...
Hi All, Latest update on the sungrazing "asteroid" 2006 HY51: q = 0.0801 a = 2.6246 P = 4.25 years Perihelion: July 6th (~13:30 UT) Prior perihelion would...
I'm very sorry for my spurious posts (I had not properly cleared the form for the last one), on the very interesting double Kreutz, one component at least of...
Hi Roband all, ... A match in Ascending Node is one of the critical point for links since this element is rather stable when perturbations are involved. From...
Hello all, I thought you would be interested in this recent ESA press release: http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEMSVJ9ATME_index_0.html SOHO has been awarded funding...
Karl, ... Congratulations! This is really great! I never thought it would be possible to get funding for SOHO that long, given that 2 STEREO satellites are...
Very good news! A question: What camera will use STEREO satellite? We Have the same chances to find comets as LASCO C2 and C3? Regards, Toni Scarmato ... From:...
... I guess I have not really made any formal announcements about STEREO and comet hunting, and I am not so sure if this is the time ro place to do so, but...
Hi Karl. Many thanks for this interesting informations. Regards, Toni ... From: karlbattams To: sohohunter@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 7:58 PM...
It looks like STEREO is scheduled for launch on July 22, 2006. I wonder if any of us SOHO comet hunters could get special access to observe the launch?? :-)...
Hello everyone, Comet reporting on the sungrazer site is currently disbaled for a short time while we look into that SPAM. I'm not sure how it got there, but...
Hello everyone, As you may or may not have noticed, we were getting junk messages appear on the comet reports page. I have tightened up security on the report...
I could not open the LASCO,too.I thought my proxythorn was time-out first but when I tried more,I knew that there was something wrong with the LASCO.But maybe...
Hello all, The LASCO website was down -- I had to restart the web server. In addition, the image processing had crashed, so there have been no new realtime...
For those of you following the progress of STEREO, please note that the launch date has now slipped into the next launch window, beginning Aug 20th. I think...
Dear all: I'm sorry to bother everyone,but I really want to know where the C/2006 M4 in SWAN is,I can only find 41P and 73P in the images.According to the...
The day of two years ago,we recieved a piece of sad news which came so suddenly that we couldn¡¯t believe our ears. Now two years has been past, we still...
Hi all, congratulation to Hua Su for finding presumed Meyer group comet 71. It took nearly 4 months after the last Meyer group comet. 2006 is thus in great...
Hello all, just wanted to remind you that we are now in the time slot of most likely re-apparition of 2002 R5, given that the assumed orbital period is...
