1I/'Oumuamua as an N2 Ice Fragment of an exo-Pluto Surface: I. Size and Compositional Constraints
Alan P. Jackson, Steven J. Desch, 2021. Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets.
Computes the acceleration a body of each candidate ice would feel and finds that nitrogen ice satisfies the acceleration, size, albedo and the absence of CO, CO2 and dust, giving a body of 45 by 44 by 7.5 m with an albedo of 0.64 at the time of observation. JGR Planets 126, e2020JE006706.
What it's used for here
