This project involves the analysis of comet images to estimate the dust emission history of each comet based on the morphology of its dust tail, and the solar wind conditions at the object based on the orientation and shape of its ion tail. The techniques are to be used to interpret existing and new images of comets obtained by professional and amateur observers. The ultimate aim of the project is to create a processing system that will perform routine, and ideally automated, analyses of active comets observed by survey telescopes, especially the Large Scale Synoptic Telescope, LSST.

该项目涉及对彗星图像的分析，以根据其灰尘尾巴的形态以及基于其离子尾部的方向和形状来估算每个彗星的尘埃发射历史。这些技术应用于解释专业和业余观察家获得的现有彗星现有图像和新图像。该项目的最终目的是创建一个处理系统，该处理系统将对调查望远镜观察到的活动彗星进行例行且理想的自动化分析，尤其是大规模的Synoptic望远镜LSST。
