Expected Fragment Distribution from the First Interstellar Meteor CNEOS 2014-01-08
Amory Tillinghast-Raby, Abraham Loeb, Amir Siraj
In 2014, the fireball of the first interstellar meteor CNEOS 2014-01-08 (IM1) (Siraj & Loeb 2019), was detected off the northern coast of Papua New Guinea. A recently announced oce…
Physical Considerations for an Intercept Mission to a 1I/'Oumuamua-like Interstellar Object
Amir Siraj, Abraham Loeb, Amaya Moro-Martin +7
In this paper, we review some of the extant literature on the study of interstellar objects (ISOs). With the forthcoming Vera C. Rubin Telescope and Legacy Survey of Space and Time…
Interstellar Meteors are Outliers in Material Strength
Amir Siraj, Abraham Loeb
The first interstellar meteor larger than dust was detected by US government sensors in 2014, identified as an interstellar object candidate in 2019, and confirmed by the Departmen…
An Ocean Expedition by the Galileo Project to Retrieve Fragments of the First Large Interstellar Meteor CNEOS 2014-01-08
Amir Siraj, Abraham Loeb, Tim Gallaudet
The earliest confirmed interstellar object, `Oumuamua, was discovered in the Solar System by Pan-STARRS in 2017, allowing for a calibration of the abundance of interstellar objects…
New Constraints on the Composition and Initial Speed of CNEOS 2014-01-08
Amir Siraj, Abraham Loeb
We study the newly released light curve from the fireball of the first interstellar meteor CNEOS 2014-01-08. The measured velocity and three observed flares down to an altitude of…
