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

How we check sources
Not checked yet
- The final journal version, underlying competing-model body and code, and independent replication were not reviewed.
Source limitations
- Figure/prose temperature trends, depth ratios and stated depths disagree. The model also leaves some cooling and energy-transfer mechanisms unresolved.
