Abstract: In this note we have shown that a newly discovered comet P/2017 S5 (ATLAS), that moves around the Sun in an asteroid-like orbit, is a member of the Theobalda asteroid family.
My Comment: Super short letter, but packed full of references giving a clear "how you do this science" outline. Love it. One of my favorite experiences with an undergrad research student was when she serendipitously found a candidate active asteroid while working with me on a comet project. Turns out it (most likely) wasn't but working out that puzzle involved her getting time on a 3.5m telescope(!), and having her work praised by Jocelyn Bell Burnell(!!).
