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 …

Tuning the legacy survey of space and time (LSST) observing strategy for solar system science
Abstract The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is expected to start the Legacy Survey of Space and
Time (LSST) in early to mid-2025. This multiband wide-field synoptic survey will transform …

Some pertinent issues for interstellar panspermia raised after the discovery of 1I/'Oumuamua
The interstellar objects 1I/'Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov confirm the long-held expectation that
bodies from one stellar system will be carried to another, allowing, in principle, interstellar …
