Interstellar Comets from Post-Main Sequence Systems as Tracers of Extrasolar Oort Clouds

W. Garrett Levine, Aster G. Taylor, Darryl Z. Seligman +4

Interstellar small bodies are unique probes into the histories of exoplanetary systems. One hypothesized class of interlopers are "Jurads," exo-comets released into the Milky Way d…

Shape-Driven Selection Effects for Aspherical Near-Earth Objects in Systematic Surveys

W. Garrett Levine, Robert Jedicke

The apparent magnitude of elongated small bodies is time-dependent over their rotation phase. Therefore, previously undiscovered aspherical minor planets may experience a shape-dri…

The Volatile Carbon to Oxygen Ratio as a Tracer for the Formation Locations of Interstellar Comets

Darryl Z. Seligman, Leslie A. Rogers, Samuel H. C. Cabot +13

Based on the occurrence rates implied by the discoveries of 1I/`Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov, the forthcoming Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) should detect $\ge…

A Sublime Opportunity: The Dynamics of Transitioning Cometary Bodies and the Feasibility of Observations of The Evolution of Their Activity

Darryl Z. Seligman, Kaitlin M. Kratter, W. Garrett Levine +1

The compositional and morphological evolution of minor bodies in the Solar System is primarily driven by the evolution of their heliocentric distances, as the level of incident sol…

On The Spin Dynamics of Elongated Minor Bodies with Applications to a Possible Solar System Analogue Composition for `Oumuamua

Darryl Seligman, W. Garrett Levine, Samuel H. C. Cabot +2

The first interstellar object, 1I/2017 U1 (`Oumuamua), exhibited several unique properties, including an extreme aspect ratio, a lack of typical cometary volatiles, and a deviation…

Assessing the Formation of Solid Hydrogen Objects in Starless Molecular Cloud Cores

W. Garrett Levine, Gregory Laughlin

The properties of the first-discovered interstellar object (ISO), 1I/2017 (`Oumuamua), differ from both Solar System asteroids and comets, casting doubt on a protoplanetary disk or…
