On the Compositions of Interstellar Objects
Matthew J. Hopkins, Michele T. Bannister, Bertram Bitsch +2
As physical samples of distant planetary systems, the compositions of interstellar objects (ISOs) should correlate with the properties of their diverse parent stars. We combine a c…
From a Different Star: 3I/ATLAS in the context of the Ōtautahi-Oxford interstellar object population model
Matthew J. Hopkins, Rosemary C. Dorsey, John C. Forbes +3
The discovery of the third interstellar object (ISO), 3I/ATLAS (`3I'), provides a rare chance to directly observe a small body from another Solar System. Studying its chemistry and…
NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory Observations of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1)
Colin Orion Chandler, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Mario Jurić +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-…
The visibility of the Ōtautahi-Oxford interstellar object population model in LSST
Rosemary C. Dorsey, Matthew J. Hopkins, Michele T. Bannister +4
With a new probabilistic technique for sampling interstellar object (ISO) orbits with high efficiency, we assess the observability of ISOs under a realistic cadence for the upcomin…
He awa whiria: the tidal streams of interstellar objects
John C. Forbes, Michele T. Bannister, Chris Lintott +5
Upcoming surveys are likely to discover a new sample of interstellar objects (ISOs) within the Solar System, but questions remain about the origin and distribution of this populati…
