Description
Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 (hereafter SW1) is a primitive Centaur that exhibits continuous changes in its coma appearance and brightness [1]. Our team has recently completed a decade of photometric monitoring in order to infer the physicochemical processes behind the observed activity.
