The Debiased Near-Earth Object Population from ATLAS Telescopes

Rogerio Deienno, Larry Denneau, David Nesvorný +7

This work is dedicated to debias the Near-Earth Objects (NEO) population based on observations from the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) telescopes. We have ap…

The Dynamical Origins of the Dark Comets and a Proposed Evolutionary Track

Aster G. Taylor, Jordan K. Steckloff, Darryl Z. Seligman +5

So-called 'dark comets' are small, morphologically inactive near-Earth objects (NEOs) that exhibit nongravitational accelerations inconsistent with radiative effects. These objects…

NEOMOD 3: The Debiased Size Distribution of Near Earth Objects

David Nesvorny, David Vokrouhlicky, Frank Shelly +9

Our previous model (NEOMOD2) for the orbital and absolute magnitude distribution of Near Earth Objects (NEOs) was calibrated on the Catalina Sky Survey observations between 2013 an…

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…

Detectability of the Yarkovsky Effect in the Main Belt

Denise Hung, David J. Tholen, Davide Farnocchia +1

We attempt to a detect signal of Yarkovsky-related acceleration in the orbits of 134 main belt asteroids (MBAs) we observed with the University of Hawai'i 88 inch telescope, supple…

Seasonally Varying Outgassing as an Explanation for Dark Comet Accelerations

Aster G. Taylor, Davide Farnocchia, David Vokrouhlicky +3

Significant nonradial, nongravitational accelerations with magnitudes incompatible with radiation-driven effects have been reported in seven small, photometrically inactive near-Ea…
