NOTE: Some objects here do not have assigned "SOHO-xxxx" numbers. It is generally the policy of the Sungrazer Project PI that "known" comets are not assigned SOHO numbers, and thus when a comet returns and is readily identifiable as a known object, then we do not assign a SOHO number. This scheme has its flaws, but the SOHO numbering system is not designed as a scientifically precise way of identifying new and/or unique comets. That is the purpose of the MPC designation. |
