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…
JCMT Constraints on the Early-Time HCN and CO Emission and HCN Temporal Evolution of 3I/ATLAS
Jason T. Hinkle, Bin Yang, Karen J. Meech +4
Interstellar objects (ISOs), particularly those with cometary activity, provide unique insight into the primordial physical and chemical conditions present during the formation of…
An Overview of Exocomets
Daniela Iglesias, Isabel Rebollido, Azib Norazman +8
We give a general overview of what the scientific community refers to as "exocomets". The general definition of exocomets, as presented in this work, is discussed and compared with…
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…
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…
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-…
Near-infrared spectroscopic characterization of the Pallas family
Prachi Chavan, Bin Yang, Miroslav Brož +1
The Pallas collisional family of asteroids, named after (2) Pallas, is notable for its high orbital inclination and the distinct blue color of Pallas and a few larger B-type family…
Discovery of Main-Belt Comet P/2006 VW139 by Pan-STARRS1
Henry H. Hsieh, Bin Yang, Nader Haghighipour +39
Main belt asteroid (300163) 2006 VW139 (later designated P/2006 VW139) was discovered to exhibit comet-like activity by the Pan-STARRS1 survey telescope using automated point-sprea…
Observational and Dynamical Characterization of Main-Belt Comet P/2010 R2 (La Sagra)
Henry H. Hsieh, Bin Yang, Nader Haghighipour +36
We present observations of comet-like main-belt object P/2010 R2 (La Sagra) obtained by Pan-STARRS 1 and the Faulkes Telescope-North on Haleakala in Hawaii, the University of Hawai…
