A ~2.5 Myr ago passage of HD 7977 within 6000-10000 au can reproduce the observed isotropy in new LPC ω and match returning LPCs, implying doubled current flux and halved Oort cloud population.

Interstellar objects form tidal streams in the Galaxy, and future surveys are more likely to see multiple objects from the same star cluster than from the same star.
N-body simulations show sub-virial fractal star clusters produce more captured asteroids and rogue objects than virialised Plummer clusters, while neither efficiently forms an Oort Cloud.
