The Distribution of Earth-Impacting Interstellar Objects
Darryl Z. Seligman, Dušan Marčeta, Eloy Peña-Asensio
In this paper we calculate the expected orbital elements, radiants, and velocities of Earth-impacting interstellar objects. We generate a synthetic population of inte…
Habitable from the start: How initial planetary formation conditions may create habitable worlds
Benjamin J. Farcy, Darryl Z. Seligman, Kathleen E. Mandt +2
The breadth of topics that encompass the search for life has expanded and evolved significantly since the emergence of the field of astrobiology. Initial astrobiology centered inve…
The interstellar flux gap: From dust to kilometer-scale objects
Eloy Peña-Asensio, Darryl Z. Seligman
Context. Three kilometer-sized interstellar objects (ISOs) have been detected transiting the Solar System, and spacecraft have directly measured micrometer-scale interstellar dust…
An Overview of Exocomets
Daniela Iglesias, Isabel Rebollido, Azib Norazman +8
We give a general overview of what the scientific community refers to as "exocomets". The general definition of exocomets, as presented in this work, is discussed and compared with…
Onset of CN Emission in 3I/ATLAS: Evidence for Strong Carbon-Chain Depletion
Luis E. Salazar Manzano, Hsing Wen Lin, Aster G. Taylor +6
Interstellar objects provide a direct window into the environmental conditions around stars other than the Sun. The recent discovery of 3I/ATLAS, a new interstellar comet, offers a…
Potential Thermal Profiles of The Third Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS
Atsuhiro Yaginuma, Aster G. Taylor, Darryl Z. Seligman
We investigate the thermal evolution of 3I/ATLAS, the third macroscopic interstellar object discovered on 2025 July 1. By comparing modeled thermal profiles with observations of vo…
