Capture of Interstellar Objects in the Solar system

BSc Thesis Project (2020)

Supervisor: Daohai Li
Project Description: I estimate the capture rate of InterStellar Objects (ISOs) in the Solar system, using the N-body code MERCURY (Chambers, 1999). From this, I analyse the orbital properties of captured ISOs and how they get captured/ejected.
