Results of observations of comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 in Sanglokh observatory
Abstract
In the International Astronomical Observatory Sanglokh of the Institute of Astrophysics of the AS RT astrometric and photometric observations of comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 were carried out in 2017. In spite of short period the comet is classified as Centaurs group object. The coordinates of comet were determined and the orbit was calculated, apparent and absolute magnitudes in BVRI bands were found as well the diameter of comet nucleus was estimated. The results of observations in the Sanglokh observatory are in good agreement with the data of world observations. Based on a talk presented at the XI International Conference "Near-Earth Astronomy and Space Heritage" (Sep 30 - Oct 4, 2019, Kazan, Russia).
