论文摘要

LCO爆发对象密钥(Look)项目使用LAS CUMBRES天文台(LCO)网络的望远镜进行:(1)系统地监视整个天空中动态新彗星的样本,(2)使用现有的Sky Surveys的警报来快速响应和表征所有小体中检测到的爆发活动。在爆发上收集的数据有助于表征每种爆发的演变,评估爆发的频率和幅度分布,并有助于理解太阳系中爆发过程和挥发性分布。外观项目利用了当前和未来的宽场调查之间的协同作用,例如ZTF,Panstarrs和LSST,以及LCO等快速响应望远镜网络(例如LCO),并为需要大量的对象提供了来自Rubin observatoratoratoration的众多对象。我们将描述外观项目目标,计划和目标选择(包括使用NeoExchange作为目标和观察经理或“ Tom”),以及第一阶段观察结果的结果,包括在巨型C/2014 UN271(Bernardinelli-Bernstein)(Bernardinelli-Bernstein)(Bernardinelli-Bernstein)以及Discovery和The Discovery和The Discover和The Comerbursts of Comets on Comets on Comets on Comets上的巨型C/2014 UN271(Bernardinelli-Bernstein)的爆发。在这些爆发的发现中,我们呈现出7p/pons-winnecke的高节奏,几天,在57p/dutoit-neujmin-delporte上发生了大量爆发,并且有证据表明彗星P/2020 X1(Atlas)在发现时出现了。

The LCO Outbursting Objects Key (LOOK) Project uses the telescopes of the Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) Network to: (1) to systematically monitor a sample of Dynamically New Comets over the whole sky, and (2) use alerts from existing sky surveys to rapidly respond to and characterize detected outburst activity in all small bodies. The data gathered on outbursts helps to characterize each outburst's evolution with time, assess the frequency and magnitude distribution of outbursts in general, and contributes to the understanding of outburst processes and volatile distribution in the Solar System. The LOOK Project exploits the synergy between current and future wide-field surveys such as ZTF, PanSTARRS, and LSST as well as rapid-response telescope networks such as LCO, and serves as an excellent testbed for what will be needed the much larger number of objects coming from Rubin Observatory. We will describe the LOOK Project goals, the planning and target selection (including the use of NEOexchange as a Target and Observation Manager or "TOM"), and results from the first phase of observations, including the detection of activity and outbursts on the giant comet C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein) and the discovery and follow-up of outbursts on comets. Within these outburst discoveries, we present a high cadence of 7P/Pons-Winnecke with days, a large outburst on 57P/duToit-Neujmin-Delporte, and evidence that comet P/2020 X1 (ATLAS) was in outburst when discovered.
