Asteroid Disruption and Deflection Simulations for Multi-Modal Planetary Defense

Alexander N. Cohen, Philip Lubin, Darrel Robertson +7

Planetary defense from asteroids via deflective means alone does not offer viable solutions in terminal scenarios where there is little warning time before impact. The PI method of…

Optical and acoustic ground effects simulations from terminal defense asteroid disruption via the PI method

Brin Bailey, Alexander N. Cohen, Philip Lubin +5

Our simulations suggest that PI ("Pulverize It"), a NASA Phase II NIAC study, is an effective multi-modal approach for planetary defense that can operate in extremely short interdi…

Observational Evidence for Wind-Driven Low-Pass Filtering of Infrasound at Short Range

Elizabeth A. Silber, Daniel C. Bowman, Sasha Egan +8

Infrasound from controlled explosions provide a unique opportunity to isolate atmospheric effects on propagation. We report observations from two campaigns in May and October 2024,…

Multi-parameter constraints on empirical infrasound period-yield relations for bolides and implications for planetary defense

Elizabeth A. Silber, Josep M. Trigo-Rodríguez, Iyare Oseghae +18

How effective are methods for estimating bolide energies from infrasound signal period-yield relationships? A single global period-energy relation can obscure significant variabili…

Evaluating Short-Warning Mitigation via Intentional Robust Disruption of a Hypothetical Impact of Asteroid 2023 NT1

Brin Bailey, Brin K. Bailey, Alexander N. Cohen +11

We 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 July 15…
