Implications of evaporative cooling by H2 for 1I/’Oumuamua

Thiem Hoang, Abraham Loeb. arxiv.org. March 24, 2023.

Hoang and Loeb argue that evaporative cooling changes a trapped-hydrogen explanation for ’Oumuamua’s acceleration. The critique depends on selected thermal assumptions and does not establish an artificial origin.

Could Solar Radiation Pressure Explain 'Oumuamua's Peculiar Acceleration?

Shmuel Bialy, Abraham Loeb. arxiv.org. October 26, 2018.

Bialy and Loeb develop a conditional radiation-pressure explanation for ’Oumuamua’s acceleration. Thin natural material and an artificial sail are discussed as possibilities; the calculations do not identify a spacecraft.
