IAO 2004, Всички кръгове — Задача 2. α2. Comet

IX International Astronomy Olympiad · 1 октомври 2004 г.

Условие

During an observation of a solar eclipse the observers discovered a comet bodies in the constellation of Aries near the solar corona. Further research have shown that at the detection time the comet was in the aphelion of its orbit (distance from the Sun $A = 8.85$ a.u.), and in perihelion the distance from the Sun is equal to $P = 1.63$ a.u. Will the comet be visible to any observer on the Earth during its nearest transit of perihelion? In what constellation will it be? The answer has to be explained by necessary formulae and numerical calculations. (Note: the answer «Да-Yes» or «Нет-No» has to be written in English or Russian.)
