Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Observed from Mars by China's Tianwen-1 Spacecraft
Xin Ren, Wei Yan, Ruining Zhao +20
China's Tianwen-1 Mars orbiter successfully imaged the third interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, during its close encounter with Mars using the onboard HiRIC CMOS camera. This is China'…
Post-perihelion Coma Composition of the Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS from Optical Spectroscopy
Ruining Zhao, Xiliang Zhang, Bin Yang +4
We present multi-epoch optical spectroscopy of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS obtained between December 2025 and January 2026 (heliocentric distances 1.8-3.3 au), yielding post-pe…
Contemporaneous Optical and Near-Infrared Observations of the Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Pre- and Post-Perihelion
Kyle Medler, Willem B. Hoogendam, Christopher Ashall +12
Interstellar objects provide a unique view into the formation of other star systems. Here we present spectroscopic observations of the recently discovered interstellar object 3I/AT…
Post-Perihelion Integral Field Spectroscopy of the Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
Willem B. Hoogendam, David O. Jones, Bin Yang +10
The environs of other stellar systems may be directly probed by analyzing the cometary activity of interstellar objects. The recently discovered interstellar object 3I/ATLAS was th…
Pre-perihelion radio observations of comet 12P/Pons-Brooks with Tianma radio telescope
Juncen Li, Xian Shi, Jianchun Shi +7
{The multiple outburst events of comet 12P/Pons-Brooks during its 2024 apparition offer a unique window into highly-active volatile releasing processes not observable during quiesc…
Optical and Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of the Outbursting Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks
Ruining Zhao, Bin Yang, Michael S. P. Kelley +4
We present optical and near-infrared (NIR) observations of the outbursting, Halley-type comet 12P/Pons-Brooks. Three NIR spectra were obtained during two outbursts in October and N…
Spectroscopic Characterization of Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS: Water Ice in the Coma
Bin Yang, Karen J. Meech, Michael Connelley +2
We present optical and near-infrared spectroscopy of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, obtained with Gemini-S/GMOS and NASA IRTF/SpeX on 2025 July 5 and July 14. The optical spectr…
The Mini-SiTian Array: first-two-year operation
Min He, Hong Wu, Liang Ge +70
The SiTian project, designed to utilize 60 telescopes distributed across multiple sites in China, is a next-generation time-domain survey initiative. As a pathfinder for the SiTian…
FAST Observations of Four Comets to Search for the Molecular Line Emissions between 1.0 and 1.5 GHz Frequencies
Long-Fei Chen, Chao-Wei Tsai, Jian-Yang Li +11
We used the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) to search for the molecular emissions in the L-band between 1.0 and 1.5 GHz toward four comets, C/2020 F3 (…
Dust and Volatiles in the Disintegrating Comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS)
Ruining Zhao, Aigen Li, Bin Yang +4
C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) is an Oort cloud comet with an orbital period of 5895. Starting in March 2020, its nucleus underwent disintegration. In order to investigate the…
The dusty red supergiant progenitor and the local environment of the Type II SN 2023ixf in M101
Ze-Xi Niu, Ning-Chen Sun, Justyn R. Maund +3
As one of the closest supernovae (SNe) in the last decade, SN 2023ixf is an unprecedented target to investigate the progenitor star that exploded. However, there is still significa…
