Hi all, it seems that Eric's observations were indeed of P/1998 X1. The non-gravitational forces are the key: See linked orbit and Brian Marsden's note in ...
Hi All, In case anyone hasn't noticed it already, C/2008 C1 (Chen-Gao) is now easily visible in SWAN images. Look for it on 3/28 around x=467, y=261 heading...
Looks like the SOHO site (http://ares.nrl.navy.mil/sungrazer/index.php?p=recent) has just gone dead: Network Error (tcp_error) A communication error occurred:...
Hi All, C/2007 W1 (Boattini) has cleared the SWAN spacecraft exclusion zone and is now visible to the south of it. Coordinates are x=314, y=321 on 4/12, ...
I have measured the positions of the new Kracht group comet from 2008 April 12/13 with Astrometrica and found that this is the return of C/2002 S11. It was not...
Hi guys, I've a question to all. I've download the latest images of SWAN from 1 to 10 may 2008. How I can know the comet visible in the images? For example...
Is seem there is some confusion in the reports page!!! It is probably that the comet that I reported at May 13 2008 16:01:13 was already reported by I am not...
... 16:01:13 was ... Hi Toni, this comet was first reported by Rob Matson May 12 22:32:23 and confirmed by Jiango Ruan 23:11:09 again posted by Shihong Yuan...
Hi Rainer <Hi Toni, <Do you really expect that such a bright comet get unnoticed? No absolutely:-), I found the first report of Rob. Thanks, Toni._,___ ...
Hi Giuseppe & Eryk SWAN images (Comet Tracker Maps) based on ecliptic coordinates. If you have any any astronomical software (Guide, SkyMap or more experienced...
I send my message one more. I had some problems with mail. Hi Giuseppe and Eryk SWAN images (Comet Tracker Maps) based on ecliptic coordinates. If you have any...
Argh. Little correction. :) Ecliptic coordinates reported in my post for comet Boattini are for 15th May. ;) Sorry! Michal [Non-text portions of this message...
C/2002 Q10 was not observed to return on 2008 May 16 as expected from the orbital linkage with C/1996 X3. Now it seems very probable that C/1996 X3/X4/X5 have ...
Hi All, Wondered if anyone else noticed the augmented "puff" of solar wind coming off the southwest limb of the solar disk, clearly due to the passage of the...
Gidday Rob, The CORA daily movie 20080523 looks very interesting. Both A and B movies show the comet, not clearly. The FITS images will be dramatic in CorA. ...
Hi Rob and Alan Watch this. http://secchi.nrl.navy.mil/sccimages/index.php?subdir=Cor2_B¬humb=0 Rob's comet is entering in COR2 B FOV 2008-05-22, Upper-left...
Gidday Rob, Michal, The is over 9hr difference between entering the FOV Cor2A and FOV Cor2B (0,0) upper left, 2048x2048 FITS 1 cor2a:20080522_103754_d4c2A 1329...
I agree with you Rob.this effect has been seen numerous times of other Kreutz comets and seems more than a coincidence to have a small outburst. I see...
Rob et al, Yes, I noticed this on Friday too. It certainly does seem like a pretty big coincidence, and it's not the first we've had. My hesitance in the...
Hi Karl, Thanks again for chiming in on the possibility of a sungrazer/CME link. I hesitated to forecast the possibility in advance for fear of jinxing it,...
Hi Rob, You certainly make excellent points. CMEs are actually a little more frequent than you quote, even at solar min but especially at max when 10/day or...
The COR2 images are finally finished processing (there was a processing crash over the long weekend...). Results are somewhat ambiguous to me. The CME...
OK, just to close out this subject, here's what I've found. My suspicions have been upheld and I can find no link at all between bright Kreutz and CMEs. In...
