Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "C/1999 J6 (SOHO)" in English language version.
The only comet which was observed well enough to compare the lightcurve shapes was C/1999 J6 which returned as C/2004 V9.
Found on the evening of March 21 2000 while searching archive data from the LASCO C3 instrument on FITS images taken on May 11 1999. The comet was seen moving away from the Sun, getting brighter then fading, it could be followed on the May 12th images as well. Doug Biesecker also located the comet on C2 frames on the 10th.
The two brightest Marsden group comets C/1999 J6 and C/2004 V9 were linked by Brian Marsden (MPEC 2004-X73) and Z. Sekanina and P. W. Chodas, an orbit for the 2010 return by S. Nakano is here.
