论文摘要

恒星掩星已用于搜索Kuiper带和Oort云对象。我们根据其恒星掩盖信号的特征持续时间($ \ sim 0.1 \ mathrm {s} $)对星际对象进行搜索。所有$ \ sim 7 \ sim 7 \ times 10^6 $ stars的全套监控程序,使用$ r \ Lessim 12.5 $使用1-m望远镜,$ 0.1 \; \ Mathrm {S} $ Cadences预计每年会发现$ \ sim 1 $ interstellar对象。

Stellar occultations have been used to search for Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud objects. We propose a search for interstellar objects based on the characteristic durations ($\sim 0.1 \mathrm{s}$) of their stellar occultation signals and high inclination relative to the ecliptic plane. An all-sky monitoring program of all $\sim 7 \times 10^6$ stars with $R \lesssim 12.5$ using 1-m telescopes with $0.1 \; \mathrm{s}$ cadences is predicted to discover $\sim 1$ interstellar object per year.
