C/2007 JA21 LINEAR
more info
2007 JA21 was discovered on 11 May 2007 by the LINEAR as an apparently asteroidal object, and announced on MPEC2007-J52 (2007 May 12). Later, its cometary apperance was reported by several observers [IAUC 8837, 2007 May 13].
This comet made its closest approach to the Earth on 26 May 2007 (5.211 au), six months after perihelion passage and two weeks after its discovery(see figure).
Solution given here is based on data spanning over 1.3 yr in a range of heliocentric distances from 5.53 au to 7.14 au.
This Oort spike comet suffers very small planetary perturbations during its passage through the planetary system; however, they could lead to escape of the comet from the solar system on hiperbolic orbit (see future barycentric orbit).
