Turning up the heat on `Oumuamua
Forbes and Loeb forecast near-Sun interstellar-body encounters and propose spectroscopy. Encounter rates and candidate probabilities depend on uncertain density, orientation, population and detection assumptions. Listed probabilities do not confirm individual origins. Ordinary cometary explanations, bound-orbit caveats and an ISON non-detection remain explicit. Parameter and catalogue-filter discrepancies are unresolved. Forbes’s fellowship is distinct from work-level grant support; neither establishes government access.
