The Two-Dimensional Structure of Circumplanetary Disks and their Radiative Signatures
Aster G. Taylor, Fred C. Adams, Nuria Calvet
During their formative stages, giant planets are fed by infalling material sourced from the background circumstellar disk. Due to conservation of angular momentum, the incoming gas…
Onset of CN Emission in 3I/ATLAS: Evidence for Strong Carbon-Chain Depletion
Luis E. Salazar Manzano, Hsing Wen Lin, Aster G. Taylor +6
Interstellar objects provide a direct window into the environmental conditions around stars other than the Sun. The recent discovery of 3I/ATLAS, a new interstellar comet, offers a…
Potential Thermal Profiles of The Third Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS
Atsuhiro Yaginuma, Aster G. Taylor, Darryl Z. Seligman
We investigate the thermal evolution of 3I/ATLAS, the third macroscopic interstellar object discovered on 2025 July 1. By comparing modeled thermal profiles with observations of vo…
Theoretical Mass Function for Secondaries Forming via Gravitational Instability in Circumstellar Disks
Fred C. Adams, Aster G. Taylor, Michael R. Meyer
This paper constructs a theoretical framework for calculating the distribution of masses for secondary bodies forming via gravitational instability in the outer regions of circumst…
The Kinematic Age of 3I/ATLAS and its Implications for Early Planet Formation
Aster G. Taylor, Darryl Z. Seligman
The recent discovery of the third interstellar object (3I/ATLAS) expands the known census from two to three and significantly improves statistical inferences regarding the underlyi…
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…
The Feasibility of a Spacecraft Flyby with the Third Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS from Earth or Mars
Atsuhiro Yaginuma, Tessa Frincke, Darryl Z. Seligman +5
We investigate the feasibility of a spacecraft mission to conduct a flyby of 3I/ATLAS, the third macroscopic interstellar object discovered on July 1 2025, as it traverses the Sola…
