C/2019 M3 ATLAS
more info
Comet C/2019 M3 was discovered on 30 June 2019, about five months after its perihelion passage and was observed only to 25 October 2018.
Thus, the solution given here is based on post-perihelion data and span over 0.159 yr in a range of heliocentric distances from 3.09 au – to 3.93 au.
This comet seems to be Oort spike comet with a more tight future orbit than original orbit (see future barycentric orbit).
