Assessment of the Mass Loss and Radius Change of 3I/ATLAS Based on Observed Production Rates
Tessa T. Frincke, Darryl Z. Seligman
Formed from the debris of planet formation, interstellar comets provide invaluable insights into the chemical compositions of planetary systems outside of our Solar System. Spectro…
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…
Near-Discovery SOAR Photometry of the Third Interstellar Object: 3I/ATLAS
Tessa T. Frincke, Atsuhiro Yaginuma, John W. Noonan +7
3I/ATLAS was discovered on UT 2025 July 1 and joins a limited but growing population of detected m scale interstellar objects. In this paper we report photometric o…
Prospects of a New Trojan Flyby Target for the Lucy Mission
Luis E. Salazar Manzano, David W. Gerdes, Kevin J. Napier +6
NASA's Lucy spacecraft is en route to conduct the first close encounter with Jupiter's Trojans. While most scheduled flybys lie in the cloud, the only target is the Pat…
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…
