Non-gravitational acceleration in the trajectory of 1I/2017 U1 ('Oumuamua)
Abstract 'Oumuamua (1I/2017 U1) is the first known object of interstellar origin to have
entered the Solar System on an unbound and hyperbolic trajectory with respect to the Sun …

1I/'Oumuamua as an N2 Ice Fragment of an Exo‐Pluto Surface II: Generation of N2 Ice Fragments and the Origin of 'Oumuamua
SJ Desch, AP Jackson - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
The origin of the interstellar object 1I/'Oumuamua has defied explanation. In a companion
paper (Jackson & Desch, 2021), we show that a body of N2 ice with axes 45 m× 44 m× 7.5 m …
