It was discovered on 1 February 2006 by the Siding Spring Survey. The object has been suggested to be the progenitor body of the β Tucanids or δ Mensids meteor showers, being, according to Diego Janches et al, a better candidate than the previously suggested comet C/1976 D1 (Bradfield). They also suggest the two showers are actually one and the same.Janches Diego Bruzzone Juan Sebastian Weryk Robert J.
