 Hi Jeremy/all,It looks like the author of this paper has just discovered a comet:
COMET C/2019 K4 (YE)
Quanzhi Ye, California Institute of Technology, reports the discovery of
a comet (discovery observations tabulated below) on CCD images obtained with
the ZTF Camera on the 1.2-m f/2.4 Oschin Schmidt telescope at Palomar; the
object shows a moderately condensed coma about 6"-8" in diameter and a broad
tail approximately 40" long to the northwest (p.a. 310 deg).
