The future of high-resolution UV spectroscopy: Science with a UV Échelle spectrograph on the Habitable Worlds Observatory, or a dedicated mission

Annalisa De Cia, David Cont, Kevin Heng +39

High-resolution UV spectroscopy serves a diversity of science cases, from small bodies to planets, stars, and galaxies, but is currently limited to the Hubble Space Telescope and b…

Ion abundances in the plasma tail of 3I/ATLAS show that it is N2-rich

Lea Ferellec, Cyrielle Opitom, Colin Snodgrass

Interstellar objects allow us to compare the early planetary formation process in the Solar System and around other stars. The second and third interstellar objects, 2I/Borisov and…

Origin and evolution of NiI and FeI in the coma of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS throughout its trajectory

Damien Hutsemékers, Jean Manfroid, Cyrielle Opitom +8

We present high-resolution UVES+VLT observations of neutral nickel and iron atoms in the coma of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS taken after perihelion. Metal emission was strong s…

High nitrogen and carbon isotopic ratios in the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS

C. Opitom, J. Manfroid, D. Hutsemékers +13

Interstellar objects provide a unique opportunity to further our understanding of the planetary formation process by studying in detail material formed around another star. Their i…

Isotopic Evidence for a Cold and Distant Origin of the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS

Martin Cordiner, Nathan X. Roth, Marco Micheli +16

Interstellar objects provide the only directly observable samples of icy planetesimals formed around other stars, and can therefore provide insight into the diversity of physical a…

Time-Domain Photometry and Activity Evolution of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS with BHTOM

A. Fraser Gillan, Łukasz Wyrzykowski, Przemysław J. Mikołajczyk +69

Time-domain photometric monitoring is essential for characterizing cometary evolution, particularly for rare interstellar objects with limited observing opportunities. We aimed to…
