Assessing the Vera Rubin Observatory's Ability to Discover Asteroid Impactors Before They Collide with Earth

Qifeng Cheng, Daniel Scolnic, Jacob A. Kurlander +2

Asteroid impactors larger than ~10 m, from Chelyabinsk-scale airburst and Tunguska-scale events to >300 m continental threats, remain the dominant planetary-defense risk. While the…
