We presentphotometric investigations of three distant active comets, 228P/LINEAR, C/2006 S3 Lowell Observatory Near-Earth-Object Search (LONEOS) and 29P/Schwassmann–Wachmann 1. The data were obtained with the 1-m optical telescope at Lulin Observatory in Taiwan on 2011 February 5 and 6. These comets were observed at heliocentric distances larger than 3 au, all of them appeared to be active. By com...
