The Distribution of Earth-Impacting Interstellar Objects
Darryl Z. Seligman, Dušan Marčeta, Eloy Peña-Asensio
In this paper we calculate the expected orbital elements, radiants, and velocities of Earth-impacting interstellar objects. We generate a synthetic population of inte…
Discovery and Preliminary Characterization of a Third Interstellar Object: 3I/ATLAS
Darryl Z. Seligman, Marco Micheli, Davide Farnocchia +44
We report initial observations aimed at the characterization of a third interstellar object. This object, 3I/ATLAS or C/2025 N1 (ATLAS), was discovered on 2025 July 1 UT and has an…
Numerical Validation of the Yarkovsky Effect in Super-Fast Rotating Asteroids
Dusan Marceta, Bojan Novakovic, Marko Gavrilovic
Recent discoveries show that asteroids spinning in less than a few minutes undergo sizeable semi-major-axis drifts, possibly driven by the Yarkovsky effect. Analytical formulas can…
ASTERIA -- Asteroid Thermal Inertia Analyzer
Bojan Novaković, Marco Fenucci, Dušan Marčeta +1
Thermal inertia estimates are available for a limited number of a few hundred objects, and the results are practically solely based on thermophysical modeling (TPM). We present a n…
Synthetic Detections of Interstellar Objects with The Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time
Dušan Marčeta, Darryl Z. Seligman
The discovery of two interstellar objects passing through the Solar System, 1I/`Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov, implies that a galactic population exists with a spatial number density of…
Synthetic Population of Interstellar Objects in the Solar System
Dušan Marčeta
The discovery of the first two macroscopic interstellar objects (ISOs) passing through the Solar System has opened entirely new perspectives in planetary science. The exploration o…
Photometric and dynamic characterisation of active asteroid (248370) 2005 QN173
Bojan Novakovic, Debora Pavela, Henry H. Hsieh +1
We present the physical and dynamical properties of the recently discovered active asteroid (248370) 2005 QN173 (aka 433P). From our observations, we derived two possible rotation…
Retrograde orbits excess among observable interstellar objects
Dusan Marceta, Bojan Novakovic
In this work we investigate the orbital distribution of interstellar objects (ISOs), observable by the future wide-field National Science Foundation Vera C. Rubin Observatory (VRO)…
