Calibration of CNEOS Fireball Velocities and the Robustness of Nominally Hyperbolic Events
Volkan Duran, Abraham Loeb
The NASA/JPL CNEOS Fireball Data catalogue provides a near-global record of bright atmospheric entries but does not report per-event velocity covariance. We calibrate its kinematic…
A High-Likelihood Polar Interstellar Meteor Candidate
Richard Cloete, Abraham Loeb
We report a newly identified polar interstellar meteor candidate, labeled polarIM, detected on 2026-04-01 02:13:14 UTC at latitude , longitude , and altit…
Two Robust Interstellar Meteor Candidates in the Post-2018 CNEOS Fireball Database
Richard Cloete, Abraham Loeb
We report the identification of two previously unrecognized interstellar meteor candidates in the NASA CNEOS fireball database. Using the empirically calibrated low-discrepancy unc…
Upper Limit on the Non-Gravitational Acceleration and Lower Limits on the Nucleus Mass and Diameter of 3I/ATLAS
Richard Cloete, Abraham Loeb, Peter Vereš
We use astrometric data on 3I/ATLAS compiled by the Minor Planet Center from May 15 to September 23, 2025, and derive an upper limit on any statistically significant deviation from…
Is the "Dark Comet" 2005 VL1 the Venera 2 Spacecraft?
Abraham Loeb, Richard Cloete
Recently, Seligman et. al. (2024) identified a population of near-Earth objects (NEOs) that exhibit statistically significant non-gravitational accelerations with no coma, and labe…
Machine Learning Methods for Automated Interstellar Object Classification with LSST
Richard Cloete, Peter Vereš, Abraham Loeb
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time, to be conducted with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, is poised to revolutionize our understanding of the Solar System by providing an unpreceden…
Improvement of digest2 NEO Classification Code -- utilizing the Astrometry Data Exchange Standard
Peter Vereš, Richard Cloete, Robert Weryk +2
We describe enhancements to the digest2 software, a short-arc orbit classifier for heliocentric orbits. Digest2 is primarily used by the Near-Earth Object (NEO) community to flag n…
