Discovery: MPEC 2013-
A 19th magnitude asteroid was discovered by Spacewatch on 2013 March 2.28 with the 0.9m reflector. Cometary characteristics were noted in images taken by Hidetaka Sato in 2013 April using the remote 0.51m telescope at the iTelescope Observatory at Siding Spring, and confirmed by other observers, and earlier observations were found from 2013 February. The comet was at perihelion at 2.1 au in 2013 April and has a period of around 8 years.
