Fitting the Light Curve of 1I/‘Oumuamua with a Nonprincipal Axis Rotational Model and Outgassing Torques
In this paper, we investigate the nonprincipal axis (NPA) rotational state of 1I/‘Oumuamua—the first interstellar object discovered traversing the inner solar system—from its photometric light curve. Building upon Mashchenko, we develop a model which incorporates NPA rotation and Sun-induced, time-v...
