1I/`Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov are the first macroscopic interstellar objects to be detected in the solar system. Their discovery has triggered a tsunami of scientific interest regarding the physical properties, dynamics and origin of the so-called interstellar interloper population. While it is clear that a deep understanding of these issues cannot be reached from a sample of just two bodies, the emergence of this new field of astronomical study is particularly fascinating, with ramifications from planetary science to galactic dynamics.

  1. Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS: discovery and physical description

    astro-ph.EP 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    3I/ATLAS is the third known interstellar object and an active red comet with measured dust mass loss of order 0.1-1 kg/s.

  2. X-SHOOTER Spectrum of Comet 3I/ATLAS: Insights into a Distant Interstellar Visitor

    astro-ph.EP 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    3I/ATLAS, the third known interstellar visitor, shows a red reflectance spectrum and no detectable OH or CN emission at 4.4 AU, with derived upper limits.

  3. Comment on "Discovery and Preliminary Characterization of a Third Interstellar Object: 3I/ATLAS" [arXiv:2507.02757]

    astro-ph.EP 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The brightness-based size of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS conflicts with the estimated interstellar mass budget, so the object must have a small core or be a member of a very rare population.
