Predicting the water content of interstellar objects from galactic star formation histories
, 2021 Planetesimals inevitably bear the signatures of their natal environment, preserving in their composition a record of the metallicity of their system's original gas and dust, albeit one altered by the formation processes.

New Candidate Massive Clusters from 2MASS [PDF]
, 2013 Massive stars are important for the evolution of the interstellar medium. The detailed study of their properties (such as mass loss, rotation, magnetic fields) is enormously facilitated by samples of these objects in young massive galactic star clusters.

Detection Rate of <50-meter Interstellar Objects with LSST
, 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 ...

Identifying Interstellar Object Impact Craters
The Planetary Science Journal, 2022 Abstract The discoveries of two interstellar objects (ISOs) in recent years have generated significant interest in constraining their physical properties and the mechanisms behind their formation. However, their ephemeral passages through our solar system permitted only incomplete characterization.

The Kinematic Age of 3I/ATLAS and Its Implications for Early Planet Formation
The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe recent discovery of the third interstellar object (3I/ATLAS) expands the known census from two to three and significantly improves statistical inferences regarding the underlying Galactic population.

Interstellar extinction from photometric surveys: application to four high-latitude areas
Open Astronomy, 2018 Information on interstellar extinction and dust properties may be obtained from modern large photometric surveys data. Virtual Observatory facilities allow users to make a fast and correct cross-identification of objects from various surveys. It yields a

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.By employing dimensionally reduced reaction descriptors, a human–machine collaboration framework for efficient electrochemical nitrate reduction to NH3 electrocatalysts screening is established and drastically shorten the discovery timeframe. A new kinetic model is established in combination with a rotating ring‐disk electrode, unveiling the pivotal ...

Near-discovery Observations of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS with the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility
The Astrophysical Journal LettersInterstellar objects are comets and asteroids that formed around other stars but were ejected before they could accrete into exoplanets. They therefore represent a rare opportunity to compare the the building blocks of planets in the solar system to ...

Interstellar Meteors are Outliers in Material Strength
, 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.
