Image Details
Caption: Figure 5.
(Left) Absolute magnitude (H) in ZTF g, ZTF r, and ZTF i filters for 6993 from UT 2026 June 25 through 2026 September 22. The object has a visible tail during all 65 observations in this range. The stars represent observations during June 2026. From 2026 June 25 to 2026 September 22, 6993 decreases in brightness by ∼0.20 magnitudes. (Right) The same observations shown in the left figure, fit to a derived rotation period of 3.896 hr and amplitude of 0.27. We derive g − r and r − i colors of 0.64 ± 0.02 and 0.19 ± 0.02, respectively, during this activity epoch. The stars represent the observations from UT 2026 June 1 to 2026 July 31.
