C/2013 E1 McNaught
more info
Comet C/2013 E1 was discovered on 4 March 2013 by Robert H. McNaught (Siding Spring), that is about 3 months before its perihelion passage. Next, it was found on earlier images taken on 2 and 19 April 2012 and 16 May 2012 with the Siding Spring Survey.
Comet had its closest approach to the Earth on 28 March 2013 (6.848 au, 2.5 months before perihelion passage, see figure).
Solution given here is based on 2-yr observations taken in a range of heliocentric distances: 8.23 au – 7.782 au (perihelion) – 7.99 au.
This Oort spike comet suffers a very slight planetary perturbations during its passage through the planetary system.
