Oort cloud
[edit]
With aphelion being only ~1600 AU from the Sun (based on a 73 day observation arc), I would not call this an Oort cloud comet. -- Kheider (talk) 21:36, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
- "I would not call this an Oort cloud comet", you said. Here you're a user, like everyone else. And as everything here needs to be referenced, I am placing Jacques' email (the discoverer of this comet) for you to contact and discuss with him (not with me) if this comet comes from the Oort Cloud or not. Nobody here gives a damn for what you know. All we care for is that you keep referencing everything you edit. So, until you find a plausible source that says the opposite, please don't delete information based on what you believe. Thanks for being cooperative. Krenakarore TK 22:13, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
- Please quit inserting unreferenced material. Aphelion (Q) is ~1600 AU (barycentric solution). If Jacques e-mailed you when the observation arc was only 2 weeks, that would be insufficient to accurately determine if the comet came from the Oort Cloud. On 26 March 2014 the observation arc of ~2 weeks showed the comet *might* be hyperbolic. But by 6 April 2014 and 13 April 2014 it was looking like it was not a hyperbolic comet. The observation arc is now more than 70 days. Based on a 73 day observation arc, I can not find an epoch when the comet is hyperbolic. -- Kheider (talk) 22:38, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
- Duncan, Quinn and Tremaine 1987 consider 20000AU to be the "inner edge of the classical Oort cloud". -- Kheider (talk) 18:51, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
