C/2005 Q1 LINEAR
more info
C/2005 Q1 was discovered on 27 August 2005 by the LINEAR as an apparently asteroidal object. At once its cometary apperance was reported by several observers [IAUC 8590, 2005 August 29]. At the moment of discovery, it was two days after perihelion passage.
This comet made its closest approaches to the Earth on 16 December 2004 (5.739 au, 8 months before perihelion passage) and 23 November 2005 (5.856 au, 3 months after perihelion).
Solution given here is based on data spanning over 2.1 yr in a range of heliocentric distances from 6.41 au to 8.25 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).
