Abstract (from CDS):

This paper reports the first OH 18 cm line observation of the first detected interstellar object 1I/2017 U1 ('Oumuamua) using the Green Bank Telescope. We have observed the OH lines at 1665.402, 1667.359, and 1720.53 MHz frequencies with a spectral resolution of 357 Hz (approximately 0.06 km s–1). At the time of the observation, 'Oumuamua was at topocentric distance and velocity of 1.07 au and 63.4 km s–1, respectively, or at heliocentric distance and velocity of 1.8 au and 39 km s–1, respectively. Based on a detailed data reduction and an analogy-based inversion, our final results confirm the asteroidal origin of 'Oumuamua with an upper bound OH production of Q[OH] < 0.17 x 1028 s–1.
