K. J. Lawrence, E. F. Helin, and S. H. Pravdo, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, reported the
discovery by the NEAT program of a comet, of 17th magnitude, having a nuclear
condensation of diameter about 6" and a 100" tail toward the southwest, on CCD
images taken with the 1.2-m Schmidt telescope at Palomar on 28 August 2001.
Following posting on the NEO Confirmation Page, T. B. Spahr (Minor Planet Center)
identified this object with an object reported as asteroidal by the LINEAR program
(first detected on 17 August).
The comet was recovered by K. Sarneczky and L. L. Kiss with the 2.3-m reflector at
Siding Spring on 21 October 2007.
