The ejection velocities of interstellar objects signpost their progenitor system architectures
Leah Albrow, Michele T. Bannister, John C. Forbes +1
Interstellar objects (ISOs) ejected from planetary systems carry kinematic signatures of their formation environments. The properties of these velocity distributions govern the ISO…
From a Different Star: 3I/ATLAS in the context of the Ōtautahi-Oxford interstellar object population model
Matthew J. Hopkins, Rosemary C. Dorsey, John C. Forbes +3
The discovery of the third interstellar object (ISO), 3I/ATLAS (`3I'), provides a rare chance to directly observe a small body from another Solar System. Studying its chemistry and…
Snapshot of a new interstellar comet: 3I/ATLAS has a red and featureless spectrum
Cyrielle Opitom, Colin Snodgrass, Emmanuel Jehin +19
The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is only the third interstellar object to be discovered. Pre-perihelion measurements provide a unique opportunity to study its activity and compositi…
A portrait throughout perihelion of the NH-rich interstellar comet 2I/Borisov
Sophie E. Deam, Michele T. Bannister, Cyrielle Opitom +12
The interstellar comet 2I/Borisov is the first interstellar object where compositional characterisation was possible throughout its entire perihelion passage. We report all 16 epoc…
NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory Observations of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1)
Colin Orion Chandler, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Mario Jurić +305
We report on the observation and measurement of astrometry, photometry, morphology, and activityof the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, also designated C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) with the NSF-…
Semi-analytic Orbits: A Practical Implementation of Lynden-Bell's Planar Orbits and Extension to Vertical Oscillations
John C. Forbes, Michele T. Bannister, Angus Forrest +2
We present a practical implementation of the perturbation theory derived by Lynden-Bell (2015) for describing, to arbitrary precision, the orbit of a particle in an arbitrary spher…
