“…One of the most interesting manifestations of cometary activity is rapid changes in the brightness of these celestial bodies, i.e., a cometary outburst. When we talk about a cometary outburst, we mean an increase in its brightness usually by several magnitudes (Cabot et al 1996;Enzian et al 1997;Ivanova et al 2011;Gronkowski & Wesołowski 2012, 2015a, 2016Miles 2016;Wesołowski & Gronkowski 2018a;Wesołowski 2020bWesołowski , 2021bWesołowski , 2021cWesołowski , 2022Wesołowski et al 2020bWesołowski et al , 2020c. We can present the course of a cometary outburst based on four stages: quiet phase (before the outburst), the outburst phase and the phase after the outburst, achieving a brightness comparable to the pre-outburst phase (see Wesołowski 2021a).…”
