Caption: Figure 2.

Left: ZTF images of comet 240P from the 2018 event (times are with respect to perihelion; see the text for details). The images are displayed normalized to the surface brightness in an 8″ radius aperture and the projected comet-Sun vector is to the right. Right: radial profiles for each image, plus an additional image from the late-event data (T − T_p = 303−328 days). Note that the first three bins are 1″, 2″, and 3″.
