Amir Siraj is an American List of astrophysicist and student at Harvard University.[1] He is youngest scientist on the 2021 Forbes 30 Under 30 list.[2] Siraj's research pertains to Iinterstellar objects,[3][4][5][6] the Solar System,[7][8][9][10] extrasolar planetary systems,[11] black holes,[12] and supernovae.[13]

Siraj demonstrated that the Oort Cloud could have been formed as observed from ejected planetesimals from other stars in the Sun's birth cluster, indicating the possible former existence of a solar binary companion.[14] Siraj theorized a new method for detecting small black holes.[15] Siraj proposed searches for trapped interstellar objects in the Solar System,[16] stellar occultations caused by interstellar objects,[17] optical signatures of interstellar meteors in the Earth's atmosphere,[18] and electromagnetic radiation from collisions between interstellar objects and the Moon,[19] as well as impacts on neutron stars.[20] Siraj published constraints on the morphology of interstellar objects Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov,[21][22] reported the first discovery of a meteor that originated outside the Solar System,[23] and developed a method for determining the characteristic ejection speeds of interstellar objects from their parent planetary systems.[24]
