-- 

I could not confirm report_rp_20230911221811 (R.Pickard). Also, I have made Robert's Sep14 report an x-comet. There were not enough good observation that I could confirm it at all, but the few observations we had were enough to make me not want to throw away that data. That's exactly what x-comets are there for! I was able to confirm his report from report_rp_20230919121747 though, which had not been 'endorsed' by anyone (no surprise -- it was extremely faint).

EDIT/CORRECTION: I realized I forgot about three reports made to the groups.io page, so those are now added as SOHO-4882 (Msg #5752), SOHO-4883 (Msg #5754), and SOHO-4884 (Msg #5757). Also, Wenjie pointed out an archive report I missed, so that is added too. Apologies for missing these, and thanks to everyone that contacted me!

Now, as for Parker Solar Probe (PSP) comets, here is the complete updated list of confirmations:

(EDIT/CORRECTION: I forgot Peter's email from Aug 08 2023, so that is added as PSP-20.)

I looked through all the reports including Robert's text file, and the report that Rafal made in that conversation thread. For the recent E15 data, there were four obvious comets seen in the images. The first two (bright) were clearly SOHO-4749 and 4750. Then there was a fainter one that Peter reported first via email, and Jiangao an hour later on the chat group. And lastly there was the comet lower down in the field of view which appears to be SOHO-4752. I could not confirm Robert's report of a comet on 6/17, or Zesheng's report of a fragment on 6/19.

You will notice the last comet on the list is a non-group object reported to me by one of the PSP/WISPR science team members -- Dr. Guillermo Stenborg. This is, of course, data that is not yet public. As I am sure you realize, we (the science team) do not have time to search through the data for comets, and are instead very happy to leave that to you all. But we do have to study the data, and sometimes we will see features that we have to discuss. In this case, Guillermo was performing his usual analysis in preparation to calibrate the new data when he saw an object moving opposite to the stars. He sent it to me assuming it was a known comet or asteroid, but it turns out to be a new non-group comet. We will release a short movie of it sometime soon. It is his first comet discovery, so many congratulations to Guillermo!

But I do also want to reassure you all that we are NOT trying to discover comets ourselves, but sometimes these things "jump out" at us when we are studying the data. (That's how I have found a number of comets -- simply because I have to spend so much time looking at the images.) I think this data will probably be released some time in January, but I will warn everyone closer to the time.

As always, please email me with any questions, comments, corrections, etc.
