Abstract
We present a preliminary analysis of comet P/2019 LM₄ (Palomar) as observed by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey in 2019 and 2020. We find that the discovery of the comet in 2019 and the recovery in 2020 is largely attributed to two separate outbursts that are ≳2 and ≳3.9 mag in strength. The two outbursts occurred between the end of April and early May in 2019, and between 2020 May 8.31 and 9.52 UTC.
