A Sublime Opportunity: The Dynamics of Transitioning Cometary Bodies and the Feasibility of Observations of The Evolution of Their Activity
Darryl Z. Seligman, Kaitlin M. Kratter, W. Garrett Levine +1
The compositional and morphological evolution of minor bodies in the Solar System is primarily driven by the evolution of their heliocentric distances, as the level of incident sol…
The Population of Interstellar Objects Detectable with the LSST and Accessible for Rendezvous with Various Mission Designs
Devin J. Hoover, Darryl Z. Seligman, Matthew J. Payne
The recently discovered population of interstellar objects presents us with the opportunity to characterize material from extrasolar planetary and stellar systems up close. The for…
Testing Self-Organized Criticality Across the Main Sequence using Stellar Flares from TESS
Adina D. Feinstein, Darryl Z. Seligman, Maximilian N. Günther +1
Self-organized criticality describes a class of dynamical systems that maintain themselves in an attractor state with no intrinsic length or time scale. Fundamentally, this theoret…
Constraints on the Occurrence of 'Oumuamua-Like Objects
W. Garrett Levine, Samuel H. C. Cabot, Darryl Seligman +1
At present, there exists no consensus in the astronomical community regarding either the bulk composition or the formation mechanism for the interstellar object 1I/2017 U1 ('Oumuam…
Collisional Growth Within the Solar System's Primordial Planetesimal Disk and the Timing of the Giant Planet Instability
Marvin Morgan, Darryl Seligman, Konstantin Batygin
The large scale structure of the Solar System has been shaped by a transient dynamical instability that may have been triggered by the interaction of the giants planets with a mass…
On The Spin Dynamics of Elongated Minor Bodies with Applications to a Possible Solar System Analogue Composition for `Oumuamua
Darryl Seligman, W. Garrett Levine, Samuel H. C. Cabot +2
The first interstellar object, 1I/2017 U1 (`Oumuamua), exhibited several unique properties, including an extreme aspect ratio, a lack of typical cometary volatiles, and a deviation…
