Mukherjee, Siraj, Trac and Loeb simulate capture and retention of interstellar objects near Earth, then estimate populations and survey detectability under assumed incoming velocities, abundance, sizes and lifetimes. The manuscript identifies no actual captured interstellar object.
Complete supplied fourteen-page manuscript; conditional capture modelPhan, Hoang and Loeb model erosion and modification of icy interstellar objects under assumed cosmic-ray, material and travel conditions. Prior observations and fits support theoretical predictions rather than new detections or demonstrated composition.
Complete supplied seven-page manuscript; conditional erosion modelSiraj and Loeb assess whether nitrogen-ice fragments could account for the earlier Oumuamua detection. Their conclusion depends on population and mass-budget assumptions; no new data are generated or analyzed.
Complete supplied three-page manuscript; conditional mass-budget modelSiraj and Loeb infer a potentially large interstellar population from prior observations and population assumptions. The paper introduces no new data; selection, size distributions and model sensitivity limit its abundance estimates.
Complete supplied four-page manuscript; conditional abundance modelHoang and Loeb model destruction and formation of pure hydrogen ice under assumed radiation, material and cloud conditions. They challenge one proposed explanation of Oumuamua while retaining environmental exceptions; no hydrogen object is observed and no artificial origin is established.
Complete supplied eight-page manuscript; conditional hydrogen-ice modelMaoz, Loeb and colleagues compare optical variability with historical radio-burst fields and propose stellar counterparts. Their association calculations depend on selection and assumptions; simultaneous counterpart evidence and raw-data replication are missing.
Complete supplied nine-page manuscript; counterpart and version gapsStothers compares ancient reported sky phenomena and possible natural explanations. Retrospective accounts and shared written sources require caution; descriptions alone do not authenticate extraterrestrial visitation. The acknowledgment reports a Hynek conversation, library assistance and editorial suggestions. NASA hosting and author affiliation do not establish agency endorsement or government UAP tasking.
