TL;DR: The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) has surveyed the entire sky at four infrared wavelengths with greatly improved sensitivity and spatial resolution compared to its predecessors, the Infrared Astronomical Satellite and the Cosmic Background Explorer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Karen J. Meech,Robert Weryk,Marco Micheli,Jan T. Kleyna,Olivier Hainaut,Robert Jedicke,Richard J. Wainscoat,K. C. Chambers,Jacqueline V. Keane,Andreea Petric,Larry Denneau,Eugene A. Magnier,Travis A. Berger,M. E. Huber,H. Flewelling,Christopher Waters,Eva Schunová-Lilly,S. Chastel +17 more
TL;DR: Observations and analysis of the object 1I/2017 U1 (‘Oumuamua) that demonstrate its extrasolar trajectory, and that enable comparisons to be made between material from another planetary system and from the authors' own, reveal it to be asteroidal with no hint of cometary activity despite an approach within 0.25 astronomical units of the Sun.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: ‘Oumuamua—the first known interstellar object to have entered the Solar System—is probably a comet, albeit with unusual dust and chemical properties owing to its origin in a distant solar system.

Yarkovsky-driven impact risk analysis for asteroid (99942) Apophis
Davide Farnocchia,S. R. Chesley,P. W. Chodas,Marco Micheli,David J. Tholen,Andrea Milani,Garrett T. Elliott,Fabrizio Bernardi +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the risk of an Earth impact for asteroid (99942) Apophis by means of a statistical analysis accounting for the uncertainty of both the orbital solution and the Yarkovsky effect.
