Detectability of Thermal Emission from Sub-Relativistic Objects
Hoang and Loeb model thermal emission from hypothetical fast objects heated by gas collisions and radiation. Natural objects can share the same heating signature. Calculated curves and dated telescope sensitivities are conditional forecasts, not detections or measured abundance. Rapid motion reduces integration time and sensitivity unless tracking is achieved. Native equation, figure-count and size-threshold differences remain unresolved. Funding is attributed at work level without a named recipient or Starshot earmark.
