摘要

Abstract Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) observations of Centaur (2060) 95P/Chiron show a brightening in the apparent magnitude not due rotational light curves or phase effects. This onset or enhancement of cometary activity started after 2021 February 8 UT and continued in later observations from 2021 June 18 UT onward. Recent ATLAS observations and deeper follow-up imaging obtained using the Las Cumbres Observatory 1.0 m robotic telescope network find no confirmed signature of coma or tail-like features.
