New comet C/2019 H1 NEOWISE
CBET 4623 & MPEC 2019-J24, issued on 2020, May 4, announce the discovery of a new comet has been designated C/2019 H1 NEOWISE.
A. Valvasori,C. Caselli and P. Punzo, performed follow-up measurements of this object while it was still on the PCCP webpage.
Stacking of 25 unfiltered exposure, 50 seconds each, on 2019, April 27.2 from Osservatorio Felsina AAB, Montepastore L19 through a 0.4 m f/5 Reflector + CCD, show that this object is a comet with a diffuse come about 7.5" in diameter.
MPEC 2029-J24, assigns the following preliminary iperbolic orbital elements to comet C/2019 H1 NEOWISE: T 2019 Apr. 27.77830; e 0.9937586; Peri. 19.30784; q 1.8450497; Incl. 104.58564

The result of the Photometric observations of UAI campaign, was published in Minor Planet Bulletin 46-3.
The result of the UAI campaign was published in Minor Planet Bulletin 46-3. Photometric observations of four main-belt asteroids were made in order to acquire lightcurves for shape/spin axis models. The synodic period and lightcurve amplitude were found for: 224 Oceana: 9.404 ± 0.001 h, 0.10 mag; 359 Georgia: 5.5329 ± 0.0001 h, 0.14 mag.; 1453 Fennia: 4.4120 ± 0.0002 h, 0.14 mag; and 1717 Arlon: 5.1448 ± 0.0004 h, 0.10 mag. We also confirmed previous discoveries of a satellite for 1453 Fennia and 1717 Arlon.
