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.

Post-perihelion optical spectroscopy of 3I/ATLAS reveals less C2 depletion than pre-perihelion, perihelion asymmetry in CN and metal production, metal release tied to CO rather than H2O, and residual [O I] emission indicating additional oxygen parents.
Rubin Observatory delivers the earliest large-telescope astrometry and grizy photometry of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, including colors and a dust-to-nucleus cross-section ratio lower limit.
