| contents | We present an analysis of the photometric data of new main belt comet P/2023 JN16 (Lemmon) observed with the 1.35-m SkyMapper telescope at Siding Spring Observatory in 2024 during July - September. The faint object showed dusty activity during a long period. Some photometric parameters, such as SkyMapper r band magnitudes, Afrho parameters, and absolute magnitude were estimated. We estimate the nuclear radius for comet P/2023 JN16 to be less than 0.5 km. The activity of the object is possible driven by the release of large, slow-moving particles. |
