The population of near-earth asteroids revisited and updated

Spitzer Albedos of Near-Earth Objects

Thermal infrared observations are the most effective way to measure asteroid diameter and albedo for a large number of near-Earth objects (NEOs). Major surveys like NEOWISE, NEOSurvey, ExploreNEOs,…

A New Method for Estimating the Absolute Magnitude Frequency Distribution of Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs)

The distribution of solar system absolute magnitudes ($H$) for the near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) observable near opposition -- i.e. Amors, Apollos, and Atens ($A^3$) -- is derived from the set of ALL…

Radar observability of near-Earth objects using EISCAT 3D

Abstract. Radar observations can be used to obtain accurate orbital elements for near-Earth objects (NEOs) as a result of the very accurate range and range rate measureables. These observations allow…

Latitude Variation of Flux and Impact Angle of Asteroid Collisions with Earth and the Moon

Flux and impact angles were calculated for asteroid collisions with Earth and the Moon, using the latest population models for the distribution of near-Earth objects (NEOs) and precession models to…

The Debiased Compositional Distribution of MITHNEOS: Global Match between the Near-Earth and Main-belt Asteroid Populations, and Excess of D-type Near-Earth Objects

We report 491 new near-infrared spectroscopic measurements of 420 near-Earth objects (NEOs) collected on the NASA InfraRed Telescope Facility as part of the MIT-Hawaii NEO Spectroscopic Survey. These…

Asteroid Diameters and Albedos from NEOWISE Reactivation Mission Years 4 and 5

The Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) spacecraft has been conducting a two-band thermal infrared survey to detect and characterize asteroids and comets since its…

Visible Spectroscopy from the Mission Accessible Near-Earth Object Survey (MANOS): Taxonomic Dependence on Asteroid Size

The Mission Accessible Near-Earth Object Survey (MANOS) aims to observe and characterize small (mean absolute magnitude H ∼ 25 mag) Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) that are accessible by spacecraft (mean…

A Deep and Wide Twilight Survey for Asteroids Interior to Earth and Venus

We are conducting a survey using twilight time on the Dark Energy Camera with the Blanco 4 m telescope in Chile to look for objects interior to Earth’s and Venus’ orbits. To date we have discovered…

Debiased Orbital and Absolute Magnitude Distribution of the Near-Earth Objects

The orbital and absolute magnitude distribution of the near-Earth objects (NEOs) is difficult to compute, partly because only a modest fraction of the entire NEO population has been discovered so…

A Near-Earth Asteroid Population Estimate from the LINEAR Survey

The NEA population is more highly inclined than previously estimated, and the total number of kilometer-sized NEAs is 1227−90 +170 (1σ).

Understanding the distribution of near-earth asteroids

We have deduced the orbital and size distributions of the near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) by (i) numerically integrating NEAs from their source regions to their observed orbits, (ii) estimating the…

From Magnitudes to Diameters: The Albedo Distribution of Near Earth Objects and the Earth Collision Hazard

Abstract A recently published model of the Near Earth Object (NEO) orbital–magnitude distribution (Bottke et al. , 2002, Icarus 156 , 399–433.) relies on five intermediate sources for the NEO…

The size distribution of the earth-approaching asteroids

The discovery circumstances of the first asteroids ever observed outside the earth's atmosphere but within the neighborhood of the earth-moon system are described. Four natural objects with diameters…

The Orbital and Absolute Magnitude Distributions of Main Belt Asteroids

We have developed a model-independent analytical method for debiasing the four-dimensional (a,e,i,H) distribution obtained in any asteroid observation program and have applied the technique to…

PRODUCTION OF NEAR-EARTH ASTEROIDS ON RETROGRADE ORBITS

While computing an improved near-Earth object (NEO) steady-state orbital distribution model, we discovered in the numerical integrations the unexpected production of retrograde orbits for asteroids…
