Oumuamua was the first interstellar object (ISO) detected by astronomers entering our solar system in 2017, followed in 2019 by comet 2l Borisov. Both stayed in the solar system for a short time before exiting again. a New study But he claims that there are many more ISOs that have entered our solar system and some may have stayed for a longer period of time.
The research looks more closely at ISOs that have likely entered heliocentric or even geocentric orbit.
Interstellar objects are a unique mechanism for investigating the formation and evolution of planetary systems, including our own.
Finding such small things in the messy space is not an easy task. The only pictures we have of other star systems are either of their stars or the faint shapes of some exoplanets. So these interstellar visitors are very important for a look at other solar systems.
The soon-to-launch Vera Rubin Observatory may detect up to five ISOs per year, and the Oort cloud may eventually consist of more ISOs than solar system objects.
Simulations conducted by the researchers show that large planetary bodies in our solar system may trap a large number of ISOs, changing their orbits and causing them to remain in the solar system for longer. As expected, Jupiter plays a dominant role in the planetary influence of ISOs, capturing 104 times the ISOs of the Earth-Moon system.
The complicated math also says that the ISO will likely end up within 10 astronomical units of the sun, where the “centaurs” reside, which are small solar system objects with unstable orbits due to their interactions with the larger planets.
The possibility of hiding ISOs exists between centaurs, but we have yet to find any centaurs of interstellar origin. However, our study shows that a closer look is required.
