Tianwen-1 provided the first out-of-plane imaging of 3I/ATLAS, indicating large dust grains (hundreds of micrometers) ejected at 3-10 m/s with steady-state outflow and a mass loss rate of about 1000 kg/s.

Post-perihelion UVES spectra of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS reveal elevated NiI and FeI production explained by direct sublimation of Ni(CO)4 and Fe(CO)5 from subsurface layers, with a transient heat source accounting for the pre-perihelion Ni excess.
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.
