Near-Discovery Observations of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS with the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility
Theodore Kareta, Chansey Champagne, Lucas McClure +8
Interstellar Objects are comets and asteroids that formed around other stars but were ejected before they could accrete into exoplanets. They therefore represent a rare opportunity…
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…
Activity-Induced Near-Infrared Variability at 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1, 2017-2022
Theodore Kareta, Charles A. Schambeau, Megan Firgard +1
29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 (SW1) is both the first-discovered active Centaur and the most outburst-prone comet known. The nature of SW1's many outbursts, which regularly brighten t…
JWST sighting of decameter main-belt asteroids and view on meteorite sources
Artem Y. Burdanov, Julien de Wit, Miroslav Brož +19
Asteroid discoveries are essential for planetary-defense efforts aiming to prevent impacts with Earth, including the more frequent megaton explosions from decameter impactors. Whil…
