Rare Near-Opposition Alignment of 3I/ATLAS on 22 January, 2026
Mauro Barbieri, Abraham Loeb
We point out that on 22 January 2026, the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS will align to within an exceptionally small angle, alpha= 0.69 degrees, with the Earth-Sun axis. This rare al…
Little Red Dots from Low-Spin Galaxies at High Redshifts
Abraham Loeb
Recently, a new population of compact, high-redshift (z>7) galaxies appeared as little red dots (LRDs) in deep JWST observations. The latest spectroscopic data indicates that these…
Pulsar Timing Noise from Brownian Motion of the Sun
Abraham Loeb
Recently, Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) reported a signal at nanohertz frequencies consistent with a stochastic gravitational wave background. Here, I show that the Brownian motion o…
Flares from Space Debris in LSST Images
Abraham Loeb
Owing to the exceptional sensitivity of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, we predict that its upcoming LSST images will be contaminated by numerous flares from centimeter-scale space…
Surface Brightness Bias in the Shape Statistics of High-Redshift Galaxies
Abraham Loeb
Recently, Pandya et al. (2023) argued that the shapes of dwarf galaxies in JWST-CEERS observations show a prolate fraction that rises from ~25% at redshifts z=0.5-1 to ~50-80% at z…
Interstellar Meteors from Tidal Disruption of Rocky Planets on Eccentric Orbits Around M Dwarfs
Abraham Loeb, Morgan MacLeod
Low-mass stars appear to frequently host planetary systems. When these rocky planets develop high eccentricities as a result of secular torques or dynamical scatterings, they occas…
