Abstract
U1 `Oumuamua, by Pan-STARRS1 has generated intense scientific interest, and has produced >125 (!!) papers. The discovery of 2I/Borisov on 2019 Aug. 30 has generated intense competition for telescope resources for its characterization. We need to have an active rapid ToO program in place as a guarantee that we can get an immediate initial characterization after discovery of the ISO so that we can inform the DDT proposals that we will submit. Thus, we request rapid ToO time to characterize by getting brightness, astrometry, and surface colors of a newly discovered ISO if the brightness is V < 23:25.
