Identifying Interstellar Objects Trapped in the Solar System through Their Orbital Parameters

Amir Siraj, Abraham Loeb. arxiv.org. February 4, 2019.

Siraj and Loeb model captured interstellar minor-body orbits using inherited density, population and size assumptions. Eight catalogue objects are possible candidates, not confirmed interstellar origins or extraterrestrial artifacts. Native Oort-cloud bodies are an explicit confound. Model convergence and forecasts do not supply independent observations. Native table, selection and population-normalization qualifications remain unresolved; detection bias and original calculation gaps are preserved. Manuscript assistance and work-level funding do not establish government tasking or custody.

All six supplied preprint pages and native layouts; candidate and model qualifications

A curated public selection. Source review describes what was read; it does not establish that a claim is true. Our research approach
