Analysis of past comet apparitions

C/1997 T1 (Utsunomiya)


Of comet C/1997 T1 (Utsunomiya) 10 section members sent 49 observations. This small number reflects the bad weather at the end of last year in mid-Europe. Adding 165 international observations indicate a uniform brightness evolution, which can be best described by the formula:

m = 6.6m + 5×log D + 14.5×log r
