C/2020 H11 PanSTARRS-Lemmon
more info
Comet C/2020 H11 was discovered on 21 April 2020, about 5 months before its perihelion passage. Later a series of pre-discovery observations were found going ten months back to 2 June 2019. This comet was observed to 8 May 2021.
Solutions given here are based on data span over 1.93 yr in a range of heliocentric distances: 8.17 au – 7.63 au (perihelion) – 7.77 au.
This comet entered the planetary zone having original semimajor axis of about 4,500 au and suffers small planetary perturbations during its passage through the planetary system that lead to a bit tight future orbit (semimajor axis of about 3,100 au).
