Multiple Outbursts of Halley-type Comet 12P/Pons–Brooks
We present optical observations of the Halley-type comet 12P/Pons–Brooks (12P) on its approach to perihelion. The comet was active even in the first observations at ∼8 au. Starting at ∼4 au, 12P exhibited an extraordinary series of outbursts, in which the brightness changed by a factor up to 100 and...
