207P/NEAT is a periodic Jupiter-family comet with an orbital period of 7.62 years. It was discovered by Near Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) on 11 March 2001.
The comet upon discovery appeared diffuse, with the coma having a diameter of 8 to 15 arcseconds and its apparent magnitude was estimated to be 19.9 by NEAT and 17.1 – 17.3 by other observers. After further observations it was determined that it is a short period comet, with an orbital period of about 7.5–7.9 years which has a rough similarity with that of the lost comet Biela according to Shuichi Nakano. It was also identified as a faint asteroidal object that was detected by Arianna Gleason of Spacewatch on 7 October 2000, but it wasn't followed-up.
Discovered by embedding cosine similarity (sentence-transformers MiniLM, 384-dim).
