The column headed Des is the half month or other designation of the comet.
The column headed C gives the SOHO instrument (C2 or C3 for the LASCO
coronagraphs, SW for SWAN), STEREO satellite (T1 or T2) and Parker Solar Probe
(PW for
WISPR) that the comet was discovered in.
The column headed G indicates if it is a provisional member of the Kreutz
group (K), Meyer group (Y), Marsden group (D), Kracht (R) or other comet (O).
P in the SOHO number column indicates the discovery is pending, C indicates
that it is confirmed, but not yet numbered, U indicates that is was not
confirmed, X that it was confirmed, but there were insufficient observations.
Note that my observer count (not updated for a long time) also includes X/ comets which are not counted as confirmed comets by the SOHO team. Where two or more people report discoveries nearly simultaneously, up to the first three observers are credited here. Where discoverers are clearly not following the SOHO or BAA Comet Section guidelines, they are not credited here at all. If initial reports don't include sufficient positions others may also be credited.
Official milestones:
Helio Abreu Neto - first discovery
AI - two discoveries as part of a project developing detection algorithms by
Daniel Parrott, Selim Seferbekov, John Gardner, Victor Dumov, Roman Solovyev,
and Dmitrii Khrustalev
Qicheng Zhang - first discovery
Worachate Boonplod - SOHO 4500
Shaoxiong Gu - third discovery, after a gap of six years
Zhuoyang Chen - first discovery
Peter Berrett - first PSP discovery
It is possible that there are further comets to be found in the archival data, most likely non-group comets, but there may still be some Kreutz comets. Archival discoveries dramatically increased in 2022, including many Kreutz comets, helped by the use of AI algorithms for searching. The total number discovered during the year, excluding archival discoveries, was 205.
