论文摘要
业余天文学家可以为彗星的研究做出有用的贡献。它们增加了时间覆盖范围和多尺度观察结果，可以帮助研究快速变化和大规模的彗星特征。我们记录并审查了为了补充Rosetta太空任务（包括迄今为止提交的数据）的业余观察活动，并根据以前的彗星业余活动的经验来考虑该活动的有效性。我们报告了竞选参与者，业余天文学界的调查结果以及参加46便士观察竞选活动的学校的结果。我们为未来的竞选活动绘制课程，其中包括：目标的清晰度；认识到更广泛的影响运动可以对增加科学资本的增加；清晰，一致，及时和量身定制的指导；易于上传程序，具有内置的质量控制；以及定期的沟通，反馈和认可。
Amateur astronomers can make useful contributions to the study of comets. They add temporal coverage and multi-scale observations which can aid the study of fast-changing, and large-scale comet features. We document and review the amateur observing campaign set up to complement the Rosetta space mission, including the data submitted to date, and consider the campaign's effectiveness in the light of experience from previous comet amateur campaigns. We report the results of surveys of campaign participants, the amateur astronomy community, and schools who participated in a comet 46P observing campaign. We draw lessons for future campaigns which include the need for: clarity of objectives; recognising the wider impact campaigns can have on increasing science capital; clear, consistent, timely and tailored guidance; easy upload procedures with in-built quality control; and, regular communication, feedback and recognition.
