Comet 29P/Schwassmann–Wachmann, also known as Schwassmann–Wachmann 1, was discovered on November 15, 1927, by Arnold Schwassmann and Arno Arthur Wachmann at the Hamburg Observatory in Bergedorf, Germany. [5] It was discovered photographically, when the comet was in outburst and the magnitude was about 13. [5] .

2021年9月29日 · A comet infamous for its explosive personality has been in near-continuous outburst since September 25th. The brightness of Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann is steadily rising, and it now appears as a tiny, 11th-magnitude object easily visible in 8-inch and larger telescopes.

2000年1月1日 · Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann is a periodic comet discovered on November 15, 1927 by German astronomers Arnold Schwassmann and Arno Wachmann. It is also known as Comet Schwassmann–Wachmann 1. It moves along a low eccentricity orbit between Jupiter and Saturn, that takes it from a perihelion distance of …

2024年11月8日 · The cryovolcanic "centaur" comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann has erupted four times in less than 48 hours, becoming unusually bright in the process. It is the most powerful outburst from the city ...

Table I. Optimal observing dates (solar elongation > 85 deg) and the perigee distance and date for the Centaur 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann. Stellar occultations are the most favorable during 2021 - 2023 and 2029 - 2031.

29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 is a large comet whose orbit features a relatively short period, low inclination, and is controlled by Jupiter's gravitational effects. NASA JPL has not classified 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 as potentially hazardous …

2016年8月3日 · Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 exhibits its classic lopsided coma on July 31 during its most recent outburst. Discovered photographically in 1927 by German astronomers Arnold Schwassmann and Arno Arthur Wachmann, 29P is …

The light curve chart below shows the estimated development of the comet's magnitude. Blue and black dots are visual and photometric CCD observations respectively from COBS or the MPC. The gray curve is based on the absolute magnitude and slope parameter as calculated from the original MPEC, or the latest values provided by the MPC (4.00 + 5 ...

2024年11月5日 · On November 2 JF Soulier reported that Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann had an eruption that increased its brightness several magnitudes. 29P on the morning of 2024 November 5 UT was magnitude G=11.6 as calculated from 48x10 second images in an aperture diameter of 0.4' The 2 stars directly below 29P in the image are magnitude 13.1 and 12.2 ...
