Debiased orbit and absolute-magnitude distributions for near-Earth objects

The Size Distribution of Near-Earth Objects Larger Than 10 m

We analyzed data from the first year of a survey for Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) that we are carrying out with the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the 4 m Blanco telescope at the Cerro Tololo…

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…

The research objectives and observational possibilities for fast moving near-Earth asteroids

The paper describes observations of fast-moving near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) made with the small ground-based telescopes of National Time Service Center of Chinese Academy of Science (NTSC of CAS) and…

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…

Unconfirmed Near-Earth Objects

We studied the Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) candidates posted on the Minor Planet Center’s Near-Earth Object Confirmation Page (NEOCP) between years 2013 and 2016. Out of more than 17000 NEA candidates,…

The population of near-Earth asteroids

A reduced estimate of the number of kilometre-sized near-Earth asteroids

An analysis of the survey for near-Earth asteroids that uses improved detection technologies finds that the total number of asteroids with diameters > 1 km is about half the earlier estimates.

DETECTION EFFICIENCY OF ASTEROID SURVEYS

A comprehensive characterization of the detection efficiency of nine of the major asteroid surveys that have been active over the past two decades is presented. The detection efficiency is estimated…

Super-catastrophic disruption of asteroids at small perihelion distances

It is found that low-albedo asteroids are more likely to be destroyed farther from the Sun, which explains the apparent excess of high- albedo near-Earth objects and suggests thatLow-al Bedrock asteroids break up more easily as a result of thermal effects.

NEOWISE OBSERVATIONS OF NEAR-EARTH OBJECTS: PRELIMINARY RESULTS

With the NEOWISE portion of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) project, we have carried out a highly uniform survey of the near-Earth object (NEO) population at thermal infrared…

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…

Derivation of the collision probability between orbiting objects: the lifetimes of jupiter's outer moons

An algorithm for determining collision probabilities between small solar system bodies

The introduction of surveys (e.g. Spacewatch, OCA-DLR) dedicated to the discovery of asteroids and other small bodies is likely to increase the number of known objects to many times the current gure…

Velocity Distributions among Colliding Asteroids

Abstract The probability distribution for impact velocities between two given asteroids is wide, non-Gaussian, and often contains spikes according to our new method of analysis in which each possible…
