C/1983 J1 (Sugano–Saigusa–Fujikawa)

[1] A photo by Skiff and Lugenbuhl using the Pluto Telescope of Lowell Observatory showed the tail was 1.5 degrees long.

[3] The comet upon discovery had passed perihelion, which had taken place on 1 May, and was located in Andromeda, at a solar elongation of 29 degrees.

[5] The comet was reported to have been visible with the naked eye, with an apparent magnitude of 5.5, and being diffuse, with a coma about one degree across.

[7] The radio spectrum of the comet revealed lines associated with cyanoacetylene but for other species only upper limits could be calculated.

[9] M. Šimek and P. Pecina recorded with radar a small increase in the rate of meteors with duration less than 8 seconds on 14 June and noted that it could be due to the comet but further research was needed.
