The digest2 NEO Classification Code
Sonia Keys, Peter Vereš, Matthew J. Payne +6
We describe the digest2 software package, a fast, short-arc orbit classifier for small Solar System bodies. The digest2 algorithm has been serving the community for more than 13 ye…
Modeling the Performance of the LSST in Surveying the Near-Earth Object Population
Tommy Grav, Amy Mainzer, Tim Spahr
We have performed a detailed survey simulation of the LSST performance with regards to near-Earth objects (NEOs) using the project's current baseline cadence. The survey shows that…
Surveys, Astrometric Follow-up & Population Statistics
Robert Jedicke, Mikael Granvik, Marco Micheli +3
Asteroid surveys are the backbone of asteroid science, and with this in mind we begin with a broad review of the impact of asteroid surveys on our field. We then provide a brief hi…
Observational Constraints on the Catastrophic Disruption Rate of Small Main Belt Asteroids
Larry Denneau, Robert Jedicke, Alan Fitzsimmons +15
We have calculated 90% confidence limits on the steady-state rate of catastrophic disruptions of main belt asteroids in terms of the absolute magnitude at which one catastrophic di…
The Pan-STARRS Moving Object Processing System
Larry Denneau, Robert Jedicke, Tommy Grav +41
We describe the Pan-STARRS Moving Object Processing System (MOPS), a modern software package that produces automatic asteroid discoveries and identifications from catalogs of trans…
Characterizing Subpopulations within the Near Earth Objects with NEOWISE: Preliminary Results
A. Mainzer, T. Grav, J. Masiero +10
We present the preliminary results of an analysis of the sub-populations within the near-Earth asteroids, including the Atens, Apollos, Amors, and those that are considered potenti…
