The discovery of 1I/Oumuamua, 2I/Borisov and 3I/ATLAS showed that significant numbers of interstellar objects populate interstellar space. Their omnipresence means that such objects also reside in protoplanetary disks, which are the reservoir for forming planets. There, interstellar objects could kick start the formation of giant exoplanets by overcoming the 1-m (3.3-foot) barrier present in the standard model of planet formation. …
