Dormant Comets Among the Near-Earth Object Population: A Meteor-Based Survey
Quan-Zhi Ye, Peter G. Brown, Petr Pokorný
Dormant comets in the near-Earth object (NEO) population are thought to be involved in the terrestrial accretion of water and organic materials. Identification of dormant comets is…
A reproducible method to determine the meteoroid mass index
Petr Pokorny, Peter G. Brown
Context. The determination of meteoroid mass indices is central to flux measurements and evolutionary studies of meteoroid populations. However, different authors use different app…
Impact detections of temporarily captured natural satellites
David L. Clark, Pavel Spurný, Paul Wiegert +4
Temporarily Captured Orbiters (TCOs) are Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) which make a few orbits of Earth before returning to heliocentric orbits. Only one TCO has been observed to date,…
Comet 252P/LINEAR: born (almost) dead?
Quan-Zhi Ye, Peter G. Brown, Paul A. Wiegert
Previous studies have revealed Jupiter-family comet 252P/LINEAR as a comet that was recently transported into the near-Earth object (NEO) region in ~AD yet only being wea…
The atmospheric impact trajectory of asteroid 2014 AA
D. Farnocchia, S. R. Chesley, P. G. Brown +1
Near-Earth asteroid 2014 AA entered the Earth's atmosphere on 2014 January 2, only 21 hours after being discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey. In this paper we compute the trajecto…
