LINEAR彗星

LINEAR彗星（リニア彗星、リニアすいせい）は、アメリカ空軍とアメリカ航空宇宙局 (NASA) がマサチューセッツ工科大学 (MIT) に設立したリンカーン研究所による地球近傍小惑星サーベイ、リンカーン地球近傍小惑星探査 (LINEAR) で発見された彗星。約145個（2006年8月現在、連名を除く）あるが、次のものが代表的である。- C/1999 S4 (LINEAR) - 2000年に近日点通過したあと、分解して消滅した。- リニア彗星 (C/2000 WM1)|C/1 (LINEAR) - 2001年に近日点通過し、南半球で2等台まで明るくなった。- C/2001 A2 (LINEAR) - 2001年に近日点通過する直前に急激に増光し、肉眼彗星になった。- C/2002 T7 (LINEAR) - 2004年に近日点通過し、肉眼彗星になった。 - C/2003 K4 (LINEAR) - 2004年に近日点通過し、双眼鏡で観測可能な光度（6等）になった。- リニア彗星 (C/2006 VZ13)|C/13 (LINEAR) - 2007年7月に地球に接近し、双眼鏡で観測可能な光度（7等）になった。
