Multiple terrestrial and space-based telescopes have been proposed for detecting and tracking near-Earth objects (NEOs). Detailed simulations of the search performance of these systems have used complex computer codes that are not widely available, which hinders accurate cross-comparison of the proposals and obscures whether they have consistent assumptions. Moreover, some proposed instruments would survey infrared (IR) bands, whereas others would operate in the visible band, and differences…
Modeling the Performance of the LSST in Surveying the Near-Earth Object Population
• Geology
• 2016
While neither LSST nor a space-based IR platform like NEOCam individually can complete the survey for 140m diameter NEOs, the combination of these systems can achieve that goal after a decade of observation.
Techniques for near-Earth interplanetary matter detection and characterisation from optical ground-based observatories
Interplanetary matter covers a wide range of mass and size in the Universe, from micrometric dust to multi-kilometre asteroids. This matter plays countless roles in planetary sciences. Dust fills the

This chapter deals with the terms of discovery, orbit determination and characterization of NEOs and other Solar System objects, and the expected increase in discoveries in the next decade.
Thermal Modeling of Comet-like Objects from AKARI Observation
• Physics, Geology
• 2017
We investigated the physical properties of the comet-like objects 107P/(4015) Wilson--Harrington (4015WH) and P/2006 HR30 (Siding Spring; HR30) by applying a simple thermophysical model (TPM) to the
Spitzer Observations of Interstellar Object 1I/‘Oumuamua

The VisionCube is a 2-unit CubeSat developed in house, of which the primary mission is detecting the occurrence of transient luminous events (TLEs) in the upper atmosphere and obtaining corresponding
Thermophysical Modeling of Asteroid Surfaces Using Ellipsoid Shape Models
• Physics, Geology
The Astronomical Journal

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union
• 2006
Detailed modeling of LSST operations, incorporating real historical weather and seeing data from Cerro Pachon, shows that LSST using its baseline design cadence could find 90% of the PHAs with diameters larger than 250 m, and 75% of those greater than 140 m within ten years.
Debiased Orbital and Absolute Magnitude Distribution of the Near-Earth Objects
