How Many Interstellar Nitrogen Ice Fragments like 'Oumuamua are There?
Abstract
Collisions on solar system pluto surfaces ejected > 10^14 N2 ice fragments. Such non-spaceship-y fragments exactly match observations of 'Oumuamua. M stars may eject 10x more fragments, which would match the frequency of interstellar objects.
