Implications of Evaporative Cooling by H2 for 1I/'Oumuamua
Thiem Hoang, Abraham Loeb, 2023. The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Argues that Bergner and Seligman neglected the cooling of the surface by the escaping hydrogen, which would lower the surface temperature by about a factor of nine and the volume of ice warm enough to release hydrogen by a factor of five to nine, leaving too little gas. ApJL 951, L34.
What it's used for here
The published objection to the radiolytic-hydrogen reading.
