&lt;p&gt;Understanding TŻO formation rates can provide important information on the current number of TŻOs within the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds. Having that context is crucial if we want to search for more candidates. Accurate TŻO formation rates can also hint to the longevity of these objects.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
