Detection Rate of <50-meter Interstellar Objects with LSST [PDF]
, 2023 The previous decade saw the discovery of the first four known interstellar objects due to advances in astronomical viewing equipment. Future sky surveys with greater sensitivity will allow for more frequent detections of such objects, including ...

Detecting Interstellar Objects through Stellar Occultations [PDF]
The 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.

The interaction of the supermassive object R136a with the interstellar environment [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1984 R136a is the luminous object in the core of the 30 Dor nebula in the LMC, embedded in the extremely young star cluster NGC 2070 with the most recent star forming event less 106 yr ago. R136a-1 (V = 11.08) lies in the center of this cluster. The companion or foreground star R136a-2 (ca.

On the Capture of Interstellar Objects by Our Solar System
The Planetary Science Journal, 2021 Abstract Motivated by recent visits from interstellar comets, along with continuing discoveries of minor bodies in orbit of the Sun, this paper studies the capture of objects on initially hyperbolic orbits by our solar system. Using an ensemble of ∼500 million numerical experiments, this work generalizes previous treatments by ...

Capture of interstellar objects – I. The capture cross-section [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 ABSTRACT We study the capture of interstellar objects (ISOs) by a planet–star binary with mass ratio q ≪ 1, semimajor axis ap, orbital speed vc, and eccentricity ep. Very close (slingshot) and wide encounters with the planet are amenable to analytical treatment, while numerically obtained capture cross-sections σ closely follow the ...

Interstellar Meteors are Outliers in Material Strength [PDF]
, 2022 The first interstellar meteor larger than dust was detected by US government sensors in 2014, identified as an interstellar object candidate in 2019, and confirmed by the Department of Defense in 2022.

On the Fate of Interstellar Objects Captured by Our Solar System [PDF]
The Planetary Science Journal, 2021 Abstract With the recent discoveries of interstellar objects Oumuamua and Borisov traversing the solar system, understanding the dynamics of interstellar objects is more pressing than ever. These detections have highlighted the possibility that captured interstellar material could be trapped in our solar system.
