Distribution of the near-earth objects
Solar System Research, 2011This paper analyzes the distribution of the orbits of near-Earth minor bodies from the data on more than 7500 objects. The distribution of large near-Earth objects (NEOs) with absolute magnitudes of H < 18 is generally consistent with the earlier predictions (Bottke et al., 2002; Stuart, 2003), although we have revealed a previously undetected maximum ...

Autonomous on-board Near Earth Object detection
2015 IEEE Applied Imagery Pattern Recognition Workshop (AIPR), 2015Most large asteroid population discovery has been accomplished to date by Earth-based telescopes. It is speculated that most of the smaller Near Earth Objects (NEOs) that are less than 100 meters in diameter, whose impact can create substantial city-size damage, have not yet been discovered.

Binary Asteroids in the Near-Earth Object Population
Science, 2002Radar images of near-Earth asteroid 2000 DP107 show that it is composed of an ∼800-meter-diameter primary and an ∼300-meter-diameter secondary revolving around their common center of mass. The orbital period of 1.755 ± 0.007 days and semimajor axis of 2620 ± 160 meters constrain the total mass of the system to 4.6 ± 0.5 × 10 11

The population of near-Earth objects discovered by Spacewatch
Earth, Moon, and Planets, 1996In the past three years the Spacewatch program at the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory has discovered ~45% of the new Earth Approaching asteroids and found evidence for an unheralded population of small (~10m) objects in the inner solar system.

Near Earth object mitigation studies
2016 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2016Early detection of an object on a collision course with Earth, leading to well-considered and effective measures to mitigate its hazards, is not always possible due to a number of extenuating factors. NASA and the Department of Energy (DOE)'s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) have partnered to develop a full systems framework for ...

The chances of a random piece of rock striking Earth still exists, but probably to a much reduced level of threat. During the early years in the creation of our Solar System, there was plenty of debris that had yet to settle into some form and order, with constant collisions of large bodies before any structure was imposed.

The Near-Earth Object Population
Icarus, 2000We examine the dynamics of a sample of 117 near-Earth objects (NEOs) over a time scale of 60 Myr. We find that while 10–20% end their lifetimes by striking a terrestrial planet (usually Venus or Earth), more than half end their lives in a Sun-grazing state, and about 15% are ejected from the Solar System.
