The interstellar interlopers
Interstellar interlopers are bodies formed outside of the Solar System but observed passing
through it. The first two identified interlopers, 1I/'Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov, exhibited …

1I/'Oumuamua as an N2 Ice Fragment of an Exo‐Pluto Surface II: Generation of N2 Ice Fragments and the Origin of 'Oumuamua
The origin of the interstellar object 1I/'Oumuamua has defied explanation. In a companion
paper (Jackson & Desch, 2021), we show that a body of N2 ice with axes 45 m× 44 m× 7.5 m …

A survey of CO, CO2, and H2O in comets and centaurs
CO and CO 2 are the two dominant carbon-bearing molecules in comae and have major
roles in driving activity. Their relative abundances also provide strong observational …
