Caption: Figure 3.
Absolute r-band magnitude of comet 7P vs. time from perihelion. A polynomial fit to the quiescent activity is shown (dashed line). Outbursts are marked with vertical lines, including the June 2 (G. van Buitenen 2021) and June 7 (K. Sharma et al. 2021b) outbursts, which are labeled in gray. Illustrative models for each outburst’s evolution are shown as exponential functions (solid line).
