1 Introduction C/2013 R1 (Lovejoy) is a nearly isotropic (long-period) comet discovered on September 7, 2013 (CBET 3649; Howes et al. 2013). It does not appear to be a dynamically new comet (Combi et al. 2018), with an estimated orbital period of nearly 12,000 years (Small-Body Database Lookup). Comet Lovejoy reached perihelion on December 22.7, 2013, at a distance of 0.81 AU. It follows a 64° inclined and highly eccentric orbit ( e $$ e $$ = 0.998).
