Abstract

We propose that collisions between neutron stars and interstellar asteroids, such as `Oumuamua, could power observable radio flares in the Milky Way galaxy. We find the rate of such events at $\sim 1 \mathrm{\; Jy}$ to be $\sim 10 \mathrm{\; day^{-1}}$.<br />Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures; submitted for publication
