论文摘要
彗星12p/pons-brooks是一种中间彗星(轨道时期约71年),可与1p/halley媲美。该彗星在1812年首次看到,然后在1883年和1954年再次看到。该彗星在2020年被发现,将通过其2024年的围盘通道。我们报告了该彗星与历史悠久的彗星C/1385 U1和C/1457 A1的明确识别;我们能够将这两个历史幻影与12p联系起来。该链接也得到了其外观和亮度的历史描述。此外,我们讨论了可能与12p的可能关系的其他历史彗星,并确定了245粒可能最早记录的12p/pons-brooks的彗星。
Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks is an intermediate-period comet (orbital period around 71 years) comparable to 1P/Halley. The comet was seen first in 1812, and then again in 1883 and 1954. The comet was recovered in 2020 an will pass its perihelion passage 2024. We report the unambiguous identification of this comet with the historic comets C/1385 U1 and C/1457 A1; we were able to link both historic apparitions with 12P. The link is also supported by the historic descriptions of its appearance and brightness. Further, we discuss other historical comets for possible relationships with 12P and identify a comet seen in 245 as a probable earliest recorded sighting of 12P/Pons-Brooks.
