NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory Observations of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1)
Colin Orion Chandler, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Mario JuriÄ +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-…
Time-Domain Photometry and Activity Evolution of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS with BHTOM
A. Fraser Gillan, Åukasz Wyrzykowski, PrzemysÅaw J. MikoÅajczyk +69
Time-domain photometric monitoring is essential for characterizing cometary evolution, particularly for rare interstellar objects with limited observing opportunities. We aimed to…

Vincent Okoth, Cyrielle Opitom, Colin Snodgrass +2
This study presents findings from narrowband imaging of comet C/2006 P1 (McNaught) using the 3.6-metre New Technology Telescope (NTT) at La Silla, Chile. Observations commenced on…
Tuning the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Observing Strategy for Solar System Science: Incremental Templates in Year 1
James E. Robinson, Megan E. Schwamb, R. Lynne Jones +13
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is due to commence the 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) at the end of 2025. To detect transient/variable sources and identify solar syst…
Shape and spin state model of contact binary (388188) 2006 DP14 using combined radar and optical observations
Richard E. Cannon, Agata Rozek, Marina BrozoviÄ +36
Contact binaries are found throughout the solar system. The recent discovery of Selam, the satellite of MBA (152830) Dinkinesh, by the NASA LUCY mission has made it clear that the…
