249 P/COMET JFC

 Hello everyone, I just obtained this image of comet 249 P / LINEAR, with magnitude m1 = 20.0, through the Pla D'Arguines Remote Observatory (Segorbe, Spain) MPC 941.

The Comet 249 P / LINEAR, the reflectance spectrum of 249P is similar to that of type B asteroids.

The total dust mass expelled during its last passage through perihelion was (2.5 ± 0.9) × 10 ^ 8 kg, a nuclear radius of between 1 and 1.3 km is assumed.
