Dust Properties of the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS Revealed by Optical and Near-Infrared Polarimetry
Seungwon Choi, Masateru Ishiguro, Jun Takahashi +17
We present independent polarimetric observations of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, including the first near-infrared polarimetric measurements. Using imaging polarimeters, we me…
SPHEREx Pre-Perihelion Mapping of , , and in Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS
Carey M. Lisse, Yoonsoo P. Bach, Brendan P. Crill +35
From 01- to 15-Aug-2025UT, the SPHEREx spacecraft observed interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. Using spectrophotometry at m, light curves, spectra, and imaging…
SOLO: wide-field asteroid light curve monitoring system for SPHEREx
Bumhoo Lim, Seungwon Choi, Yoonsoo P. Bach +8
We present the Solar system Objects Light curve Observatory (SOLO), a wide-field, high-cadence optical survey system designed to obtain absolutely calibrated asteroid light curves,…
SQUIDPOL: Seoul National University QUadruple Imaging Device for POLarimetry
Sunho Jin, Jooyeon Geem, Masateru Ishiguro +9
We present SQUIDPOL, a low-cost, multi-channel optical imaging polarimeter that performs simultaneous linear polarization measurements using a rotating half-wave plate, a non-polar…
Simulation of Impact-induced seismic shaking on asteroid (25143) Itokawa to address its resurfacing process
Sunho Jin, Masateru Ishiguro
The surface of asteroid (25143) Itokawa shows both fresh and mature terrains, despite its short space weathering timescale of approximately 1000 years, as inferred from recent stud…
Optical and Near-Infrared Contemporaneous Polarimetry of C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)
Bumhoo Lim, Masateru Ishiguro, Jun Takahashi +11
We conducted contemporaneous optical and near-infrared polarimetric and spectroscopic observations of C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, hereafter T-A) from 2024 October 16 to December…
