Descripción
In this presentation, we describe several months of monitoring of Gault since January 2019 using various telescopes and instrumentation. The goal is to characterize and to model the asteroids and the tails to impose constraints on the physical properties of the ejected dust, and to shed light on the activity timeline and the causes for the ejection events.
