ALICE: 46P/Wirtanen (659 words) |
 | Periodic comet Wirtanen was discovered in 1948 by Carl Wirtanen of Lick Observatory in the course of a stellar proper motion survey. |
| The plate on which the discovery was made was taken on 1948 January 15, about a month and a half after the comet had passed perihelion, at which time it was about 16th magnitude. |
| Charles Morris (JPL) has compiled individual light curves for each of comet Wirtanen's 1986 and 1991 apparitions, and has also generated a combined light curve for both apparitions. |
