The first break-up event was observed in March 2001 (IAUC 7616). In this paper we report the first results of our extensive imaging and spectroscopic monitoring campaign with ESO telescopes over several weeks before and after the perihelion passage on May 25 2001.Target : Researchers Permalink : http://hdl.handle.net/2268/107612 Other URL : http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2002EM%26P...90..147J
