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…

Discovering Earth’s transient moons with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope

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 population of near-earth asteroids revisited and updated

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,…

New multi-part collisional model of the main belt: the contribution to near-Earth asteroids

Aims. We developed a six-part collisional evolution model of the main asteroid belt (MB) and used it to study the contribution of the different regions of the MB to the near-Earth asteroids (NEAs).…

The population of near-Earth asteroids

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

TLDR
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.

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…

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

TLDR
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…
