What is C/1980 E1?
'''C/1980 E1''' is a [[non-periodic comet]] discovered by [[Edward L. G. Bowell]] on 11 February 1980 and came closest to the Sun in March 1982. It is leaving the Solar System due to a close approach to Jupiter. Since its discovery only [[1I/ʻOumuamua]] and [[2I/Borisov]] have been identified with a faster trajectory.<ref name=hyperbolic>{{cite journal |last1=de la Fuente Marcos |first1=Carlos |last2=de la Fuente Marcos |first2=Raúl |title=Pole, Pericenter, and Nodes of the Interstellar Minor Body A/2017 U1 |journal=[[Research Notes of the AAS]] |date=1 November 2017 |volume=1 |issue=1 |arxiv=1711.00445 |doi=10.3847/2515-5172/aa96b4 |pages=9 (2 pages) |bibcode = 2017RNAAS...1a...5D |s2cid=119537175 |doi-access=free }}</ref><ref name=deLeón2019> {{cite journal |last1 = de León |first1 = Julia |last2 = Licandro |first2 = Javier |last3 = Serra-Ricart |first3 = Miquel |last4 = Cabrera-Lavers |first4 = Antonio |last5 = Font Serra |first5 = Joan |last6 = Scarpa |first6 = Riccardo |last7 = de la Fuente Marcos |first7 = Carlos |last8 = de la Fuente Marcos |first8 = Raúl |date = 19 September 2019 |title = Interstellar Visitors: A Physical Characterization of Comet C/2019 Q4 (Borisov) with OSIRIS at the 10.4 m GTC |journal = [[American Astronomical Society#Research Notes of the AAS|Research Notes of the AAS]] |volume = 3 |number = 9 |page = 131 |doi = 10.3847/2515-5172/ab449c |s2cid = 204193392 |issn = 2515-5172 |doi-access = free }} </ref> == References == {{reflist}} {{sci-stub}} [[Category:Comets]]
