From two Active Asteroid (AA) known in 1979 we have advanced to 37 members atthe beginning of 2019. More surprisingly, in the first three months of 2019five new members were added to the list, one of them, 6478 Gault, with acurious, out of the ordinary tail. This prompted a visual search for similarobjects in images depositories. We have identified five cometary objects thathave the same morphological appearance: A thin long tail coming out of astar-like nucleus with no gas. The members of this new class (Pinpoint CometGroup, PCG) are, 133P/Elst-Pizarro, 249P/LINEAR, 331P/Gibbs, 62412 and 6478Gault. We look for differences and similarities among them. Four of them belongto the main belt and one to the Jupiter Family of comets. One of them has leftthe group but will return soon. Two of them are double. All exhibit densitieswell above the Jupiter Family of comets values. This tells us something abouttheir origin and evolution. In this work we study the secular and rotationallight curves of these objects and their phase and SLC plots. We willinvestigate the meaning of these characteristics in terms of their physicalevolution.
