A new three-point inverse solution using the α-β model reconstructs meteoroid masses and bulk densities from limited fireball observations, achieving 88% convergence on the EN catalog and producing a continuous density range of 300-4000 kg m^{-3} instead of discrete PE categories.

Multi-band photometry and Monte Carlo modeling of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS yield a dust size distribution with power-law index -3.5 and a phase curve showing opposition surge of 0.1-0.4 mag distinct from Solar System comets.
