Английская Википедия:238P/Read
238P/Read (P/2005 U1) is a main-belt comet[1][2] discovered on 24 October 2005 by astronomer Michael T. Read using the Spacewatch 36-inch telescope on Kitt Peak National Observatory. It has an orbit within the asteroid belt and has displayed the coma of a traditional comet. It fits the definition of an Encke-type comet with (TJupiter > 3; a < aJupiter).[3]
Description
Before it was discovered Шаблон:Mp came to perihelion on 2005 July 27.[3] When it was discovered on 2005 October 24, it showed vigorous cometary activity until 2005 December 27.[4] Outgassing likely began at least 2 months before discovery.[4] The activity of Шаблон:Mp is much stronger than 133P/Elst-Pizarro and 176P/LINEAR.[4] This may indicate that the impact assumed to have triggered Шаблон:Mp's activity occurred very recently.[4]
Observations of Шаблон:Mp when it was inactive in 2007 suggests that it has a small nucleus only about 0.6 km in diameter.[4]
It came to perihelion on 2011 March 10,[4] 2016 October 22.[5][6] and 2022 June 5.[6] It will next come to perihelion on 2028 January 24.[7]
Шаблон:Mp was the target of a mission proposal in NASA's Discovery Program in the 2010s called Proteus, however it was not selected for further development.[8] Discovery program's founding mission was to an asteroid, but it went to a Near-Earth asteroid.[9] A mission to a main-belt asteroid was proposed in the 1990s (also see Deep Impact (spacecraft)).[10]
The comet was observed by James Webb Space Telescope during the 2022 perihelion and it was found spectrographicaly that its coma was composed by water vapor, due to water sublimation, and lacked significant Шаблон:CO2 coma.[11]
