초록

We present a novel method that can enhance the detection success rate of interstellar objects. Interstellarobjects are objects that are not gravitationally bound to our solar system and thus are believed to haveoriginated from other planetary systems. Since the nding of two interstellar objects, 1l/`Oumuamua in2017 and 2l/Borisov in 2019, much attention has been paid to nding new interstellar objects. In thispaper, we propose the use of Heliospheric Imagers (HIs) for the survey of interstellar objects. In particular,we show HI data taken from Solar TErrestrial RElation Observatory/Sun Earth Connection Coronal andHeliospheric Investigation and demonstrate their ability to detect `Oumuamua-like interstellar objects. HIs are designed to monitor and study space weather by observing the solar wind traveling throughinterplanetary space. HIs provide the day-side observations and thus it can dramatically enlarge theobservable sky range when combined with the traditional night-side observations. In this paper, we rstreview previous methods for detecting interstellar objects and demonstrate that HIs can be used for thesurvey of interstellar objects.
