International Journal of AstrobiologyAbstract The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is expected to increase interstellar object (ISO) detections from a few over the past decade to potentially one per few months, demanding a systematic classification scheme. We present the Interstellar Object Significance Scale (IOSS), also known in the literature as the Loeb Scale, a 0–10 ...

Brown dwarf accretion: Nonconventional star formation over very long timescales [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2005 We investigate the process of accretion of interstellar gas by the Galactic population of brown dwarfs over very long timescales typical for physical eschatology.

Modelling and observations of molecules in discs around young stars [PDF]
, 2013 This thesis contains a study of molecules within circumstellar discs around young stars. Firstly, the chemistry of a disc around a young, Class 0 protostar is modelled.

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Interstellar Now! Missions to and sample returns from nearby interstellar objects
, 2020 The recently discovered first high velocity hyperbolic objects passing through the Solar System, 1I/'Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov, have raised the question about near term missions to Interstellar Objects.

Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Classical bioethics examines moral issues in terrestrial medicine and the life sciences. According to Konrad Szocik, space bioethics merely relocates those questions to harsher environments. We argue that this view is incomplete: space bioethics is a genuinely original domain.

An Upper Limit on the Interstellar Meteoroid Flux at Video Sizes from the Global Meteor Network
The Astrophysical JournalMaterial arriving at our solar system from the Galaxy may be detected on Earth in the form of meteors ablating in our atmosphere. Here, we report on a search for interstellar meteors within the highest-quality events in the Global Meteor Network (GMN ...

Navigational Feasibility of Flyby / Impact Missions to Interstellar Objects
, 2019 In October 2017, the first interstellar object, designated 1I/2017 U1 and more commonly referred to as Oumuamua, was detected passing through our solar system by the Pan-STARRS telescope, followed recently by the detection of 2I/Borisov in August 2019 ...

Out There No One Has a Right to Die
Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The eventual goal of space exploration is to colonize exoplanets and their moons outside our solar system. This is a dangerous and immoral endeavour. The extraterrestrial life forms encountered would be hostile, vulnerable or both, and the descendants of the original pioneers would be involuntarily exposed to hazardous conditions and ...

Detection of CN Gas in Interstellar Object 2I/Borisov [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2019 Abstract The detection of interstellar objects passing through the solar system offers the promise of constraining the physical and chemical processes involved in planetary formation in other extrasolar systems. While the effect of outgassing by 1I/2017 U1 (’Oumuamua) was dynamically observed, no direct detection of the ejected material ...
