The Astrophysical JournalWe investigate various short-warning mitigation scenarios via fragmentation for a hypothetical impact of asteroid 2023 NT1, a near-Earth object (NEO) that was discovered on 2023 July 15, two days after its closest approach to Earth on July 13.

Surface Heterogeneity, Physical, and Shape Model of Near-Earth Asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2
The Planetary Science JournalOn 2020 April 29, the near-Earth object (52768) 1998 OR2 experienced a close approach to Earth at a distance of 16.4 lunar distances (LD). 1998 OR2 is a potentially hazardous asteroid of absolute magnitude H = 16.04 that can currently come as close to ...

Statistical Analysis of Near Earth Objects [PDF]
In this paper, we explore the statistical properties of Near Earth Objects (NEOs). It is determined whether the date has an effect on the quantity of NEOs observed, as well as if the velocities, sizes and orbit types of the NEO are correlated with the ...

Optimal detection of near-earth objects [PDF]
, 1997 Improved technology and search strategies could significantly increase debris detection rates and tracking accuracies with modest investment. Improving the focal planes of current telescopes could significantly increase detection rates. For large systems, proportional increases in aperture area and array size are appropriate.

Surveying of the solar system [PDF]
Some populations of objects in the solar system are poorly known, and the long range goal of this program is to improve that situation. For instance, the statistics of Trojan asteroids is being studied.

, 2006 The word planet comes from Greek planetes, wanderers, because the planets appear to wander across the celestial sphere, contrary to the fixed stars. This thesis presents several methods for using this motion to distinguish between stars and solar system objects in order to detect and track NEOs, Near Earth Objects: Asteroids and comets following paths ...

Hydration Features on Near-Earth Objects: Integrating New Data with Prior Results
The Planetary Science JournalNear-Earth objects (NEOs) are excellent laboratories for testing processes that affect airless bodies, as well as informing us about solar system history. Though most NEOs are nominally anhydrous because they formed inside the solar system frost line and

DART Impact Ejecta Plume Evolution: Implications for Dimorphos
The Planetary Science JournalThe NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft impacted the moon Dimorphos of the [65803] Didymos binary system and changed the binary orbit period, demonstrating asteroid deflection by a kinetic impact and indicating that more momentum was ...
