Abstract
Both macro and microprojectiles (e.g., interplanetary, interstellar and even intergalactic material)are seen as important vehicles for the exchange of potential (bio)material within our solar system as wellas between stellar systems in our Galaxy. Accordingly, this requires estimates of the impact probabilitiesfor different source populations of projectiles, including for intergalactic meteor particles which havereceived relatively little attention since considered as rare events (discrete occurrences that are statisticallyimprobable due to their very infrequent appearance). We employ the simple but yet comprehensivemodel of intergalactic microprojectile capture by the gravity of exoplanets which enables us to estimatethe map of collisional probabilities for an available sample of exoplanets in habitable zones around hoststars. The model includes a dynamical description of the capture adopted from Mautner model ofinterstellar exchange of microparticles and changed for our purposes. We use statistical and informationmetrics to calculate probability map of intergalactic meteorite particle capture. Moreover, by calculatingthe entropy index map we measure the concentration of these rare events. We further adopted a modelfrom immigration theory, to show that the transient distribution of birth/death/immigration of materialfor the simplest case has a high value.
