Detecting Interstellar Objects through Stellar Occultations [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2020
Abstract Stellar occultations have been used to search for Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud objects. We propose a search for interstellar objects based on the characteristic durations (∼0.1 s) of their stellar occultation signals and high inclination relative to the ecliptic plane.

Discovery of the First Interstellar Comet and the Spatial Density of Interstellar Objects in the Solar Neighborhood

Solar System Research, 2021
The discovery of the first interstellar comet 2I/Borisov confirmed the astronomers’ speculation that the passage through the solar system of relatively large objects (asteroids and comets) formed outside of it is a common occurrence. There may be many such objects, but their discovery is still a rare case.

The Chemodynamics of Interstellar Objects 

In preparation for Rubin and an upcoming targeted precursor survey on CFHT, we present the latest version of the Ōtautahi-Oxford model for the detection of ISOs by LSST, including predictions for the velocity distribution of such objects in the solar neighbourhood derived from Gaia along with predictions from a simple chemical model.

The potential for quasi-interstellar objects

A population of interstellar objects (ISOs) may exist that originate from the Solar System, rather than from other stars. Such a foreground would challenge straightforward analysis of the ISO sample expected to be gathered by upcoming sky surveys. We assess whether small bodies unbound from the Solar System can experience dynamical evolution in the ...
