C/2001 G1 LONEOS
more info
C/2001 G1 was discovered on 1 April 2001 by the LONEOS as an apparently asteroidal object. At once, its cometary apperance was reported [IAUC 7606, 2001 April 2]. Later, pre-discovery detections by Air Force Maui Optical and Supercomputing observatory (AMOS) from 28 and 29 December 2000 were found.
This comet made its closest approach to the Earth on 8 April 2002 (7.309 au), six months after perihelion.
Solution given here is based on data spanning over 2.4 yr in a range of heliocentric distances: 8.41 au – 8.235 au (perihelion) – 8.98  au.
This Oort spike comet suffers small planetary perturbations during its passage through the planetary system that lead to escape of the comet from the solar system on hiperbolic orbit (see future barycentric orbit).
