Dramatic optical outbursts, which signal the onset of rapid and dramatic accretion onto pre-main sequence stars through their disks, cannot be predicted; however, our previous CXO campaign to study the outburst source V1647 Ori demonstrates that studies of such stars made with CXO beginning immediately after outburst can dramatically increase our knowledge about how and why such stars undergo outbursts and accrete mass. We therefore propose a ToO campaign to observe any such star discovered during Cycle 10. We will use ACIS-I to carry out three imaging spectroscopy observations of 20 ks, 20 ks, and 30 ks duration and spaced by intervals of three months, beginning immediately after discovery and continuing through the end of Cycle 10.
