Coordinated Community Follow-up of 3I/ATLAS

3I/ATLAS, the newly discovered interstellar object (ISO), will be observable from now through early 2026. In an effort to increase scientific return of this unique temporary interloper and minimize duplicate efforts, we have created a central website for collecting information regarding this ISO. Our intention is to encourage and facilitate the acquisition of observations and promote collaborations between interested researchers. In particular, we would like to note the section on coordinated observations, where community members can upload details of upcoming or completed observations of 3I, and publicly available observations, which links to publicly available data sets of 3I.

This website is still under development. We encourage feedback and/or pull requests from the community on ways to improve our current framework.
