Sky-Plane Velocity Distributions of Interstellar Objects and Implications for Their Detection
Dim interstellar asteroids typically reach detectable brightness only when moving fast across the sky, while bright or cometary objects are detectable at slower speeds, implying surveys may miss a large fraction of the dim population.
