C/2019 U5 PanSTARRS
more info
Comet C/2019 U5 was discovered on 22 October 2019, about 3.5 yr before its perihelion passage (10.38 au from the Sun). Later two pre-discovery observations were found from 11 October 2019 (heliocentric disctance: 10.45 au). In the moment of orbit determination, this comet was still observed.
Currently, solutions (GR and NG) based on pre-perihelion data are given. Therefore, the data arc span over 3.46 yr in a range of heliocentric distances from 10.45 au to 3.62 au.
This is Oort spike comet.
