Hi @mschwamb,

[This post](http://www.rubin.community/t/sample-simulated-solar-system-alerts/4556) describes how to access the sample Solar System alerts. I think it is unlikely they will be useful for testing filters for cometary activity, however, as they are based on simulated asteroid catalogs only.

@mjuric or @eggl might comment further on updates to the underlying simulated catalogs since November.
