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.

A Potential Signature of HD 7977's Passage Among Observed Long-Period Comet Orbits
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.
