A short update on the magnitude of comet MAPS. With the latest
measurements, it seems comet MAPS could be larger than the size
associated with "Headless comets" (as its intrinsic brightness at 1.4AU
is already similar to Lovejoy at 0.7AU), and could be going toward a
"medium Kreutz" or "Ikeya-Seki" size.
