Re: [BAA Comets] Two recent ArXiv papers

The paper on C/2016 R2 is partially based on this one published in 2019:
McKay et al.: The Peculiar Volatile Composition of CO-Dominated Comet C/2016 R2
(PanSTARRS), https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.07208
It is quite interesting to remember the outstanding pre-perihelion light curve
of this comet, showing no activity before entering a solor distance of 3.2 AU.
