NEOMOD 2: An Updated Model of Near-Earth Objects from a Decade of Catalina Sky Survey Observations
David Nesvorny, David Vokrouhlicky, Frank Shelly +9
Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) is a major survey of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). In a recent work, we used CSS observations from 2005-2012 to develop a new population model of NEOs (NEOMO…
Origin and Evolution of Jupiter's Trojan Asteroids
William F. Bottke, Raphael Marschall, David Nesvorný +1
The origin of the Jupiter Trojan asteroids has long been a mystery. Dynamically, the population, which is considerably smaller than the main asteroid belt, librates around Jupiter'…
A Crater Chronology for the Jupiter's Asteroids
S. Marchi, D. Nesvorný, D. Vokrouhlický +2
We present a new crater chronology for Jupiter's Trojan asteroids. This tool can be used to interpret the collisional history of the bodies observed by NASA's Lucy mission. The Luc…
The NEO Surveyor Near Earth Asteroid Known Object Model
Tommy Grav, Amy K. Mainzer, Joseph R. Masiero +4
The known near-Earth object (NEO) population consists of over 32,000 objects, with a yearly discovery rate of over 3000 NEOs per year. An essential component of the next generation…
Spectroscopic Links Among Giant Planet Irregular Satellites and Trojans
Benjamin N. L. Sharkey, Vishnu Reddy, Olga Kuhn +2
We collect near-infrared spectra () of four Jovian irregular satellites and visible spectra () of two Jovian irregular satellites, two Uranian…
Dynamical feasibility of (3) Juno as a parent body of the H chondrites
John W. Noonan, Kathryn Volk, David Nesvorný +1
We test the hypothesis that (3) Juno is a parent body of the H chondrites with dynamical modeling of an asteroid-family-forming impact and comparison to current observational data.…
Debiased population of very young asteroid families
David Vokrouhlický, David Nesvorný, Miroslav Brož +1
We use observations from the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) to determine the bias-corrected population of small members in four very young families down to sizes equivalent to several h…
Validation of the Survey Simulator tool for the NEO Surveyor mission using NEOWISE data
Joseph R. Masiero, Dar W. Dahlen, Amy K. Mainzer +4
The Near Earth Object Surveyor mission has a requirement to find two-thirds of the potentially hazardous asteroids larger than 140 meters in size. In order to determine the mission…
The Near-Earth Object Surveyor Mission
A. K. Mainzer, Joseph R. Masiero, Paul A. Abell +34
The Near-Earth Object (NEO) Surveyor mission is a NASA observatory designed to discover and characterize near-Earth asteroids and comets. The mission's primary objective is to find…
The Collisional Evolution of the Primordial Kuiper Belt, Its Destabilized Population, and the Trojan Asteroids
William Bottke, David Vokrouhlicky, Raphael Marshall +6
The tumultuous early era of outer solar system evolution culminated when Neptune migrated across the primordial Kuiper belt (PKB) and triggered a dynamical instability among the gi…
NEOMOD: A New Orbital Distribution Model for Near Earth Objects
David Nesvorny, Rogerio Deienno, William F. Bottke +10
Near Earth Objects (NEOs) are a transient population of small bodies with orbits near or in the terrestrial planet region. They represent a mid-stage in the dynamical cycle of aste…
Early Bombardment of the Moon: Connecting the Lunar Crater Record to the Terrestrial Planet Formation
David Nesvorny, Fernando V. Roig, David Vokrouhlicky +4
The lunar crater record features basins. The radiometric dating of Apollo samples indicates that the Imbrium basin formed relatively late -- from the planet formation per…
