1I/'Oumuamua-like objects' size-frequency distributions with older, current and future surveys

Uses 1I and 3I together to constrain the size distribution of interstellar objects and the detection rates expected from Pan-STARRS, ATLAS, TESS and Rubin; concludes that asteroid-like bodies are produced more often than comets. Posted 21 September 2026.
