Kinematics of the Interstellar Vagabond 1I/'Oumuamua (A/2017 U1)
Eric Mamajek, 2017. Research Notes of the AAS.
Shows that the object's incoming velocity was within a few kilometres per second of the local standard of rest, which is unusual for a nearby star and argues against ejection from any of the nearest stellar systems. RNAAS 1, 21.
What it's used for here
The kinematic fact that frames the origin question.
