Physical Considerations for an Intercept Mission to a 1I/'Oumuamua-like Interstellar Object
Siraj, Loeb and colleagues outline requirements for a proposed interstellar-object intercept. Detection and reachability forecasts depend on assumptions; material analogues and modelled spectra do not identify an artificial object.

How we check sources
Not checked yet
- The final journal, underlying observations, external datasets, code and independent model execution were not reviewed.
Source limitations
- Conflicting probability, unit, orbital-speed, L2 stability and target-size wording is retained. Forecasts describe a proposed mission, without a flown intercept or authenticated nonhuman spectrum.
