Incoming T.C. Chamberlin Postdoctoral Fellow Darryl Seligman was recently interviewed by Wired Magazine and the New York Times about a new preprint posted on the arXiv, slated to be published in Astrophysical Journal Letters. Seligman posits that all of `Oumaumua's observed properties, most notaby its observed non-gravitational acceleration, can be explained by a significant molecular hydrogen ice mass fraction. Congratulations, Darryl!
