Dust colour, phase behaviour, and Monte Carlo modelling of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS from 4 au pre- to 4 au post-perihelion
Multi-band photometry and Monte Carlo modeling of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS yield a dust size distribution with power-law index -3.5 and a phase curve showing opposition surge of 0.1-0.4 mag distinct from Solar System comets.
