If it has the right composition, it is probably cold enough, when away from the sun to be a high temperature superconductor, right? Thus it would expel the magnetic field and accelerate away from say - Jupiter, which has by far the strongest magnetic field in the solar system Here is an article on SC material found in meteorites Superconducting materials found in meteorites | | | | | | | | | | | Superconducting materials found in meteorites Discovery highlights capability of new, high-throughput screening method | | |
Re: [Vo]:The Oumuamua anomaly
Since hardly anything is known about the composition and structure of Oumuamua one is free to imagine a composition and structure that could produce the observed trajectory when interacting the sun's magnetic field. In other words Oumuamua could be treated like a black box where only the rough dimensions of the box are known. This situation is different from the Pioneer anomaly. Using the effect of sunlight on the spacecraft to explain the probe's anomalous acceleration had to be constrained by the known structure and composition of the spacecraft.

Re: [Vo]:The Oumuamua anomaly
Some magnetic field effects have been modeled but they don't produce the observed discrepancy. harry On Fri, Aug 21, 2020 at 3:49 PM Robin wrote: > In reply to Jones Beene's message of Fri, 21 Aug 2020 18:37:02 + > (UTC): > Hi, > [snip] > > To me it looks like a nickel-iron meteor.

Was there ever any evidence of hydrino at all? e.g. Hydrogen Balmer Line broadening or EUV emission etc An amateur should have been able to document such an emission anomaly, if it were a feature of that object.
