The NEO Surveyor Near-Earth Asteroid Known Object Model by Tommy Grav, Amy K. Mainzer, Joseph R. Masiero, Dar W. Dahlen, Tim Spahr, William F. Bottke, Frank J. Masci

“…An essential component of the next generation of NEO surveys is an understanding of the population of known objects, including an accounting of the discovery rate per year as a function of size. Using a near-Earth asteroid (NEA) reference model developed for NASA’s NEO Surveyor (NEOS) mission and a model of the major current and historical ground-based surveys, an estimate of the current NEA survey completeness as a function of size and absolute magnitude has been determined (termed the Known Object Model; KOM). …”

A common origin for dynamically associated near-Earth asteroid pairs by Binzel, Richard P, DeMeo, Francesca E, Person, Michael J

“…Though pairs of dynamically associated asteroids in the Main Belt have been identified and studied for over a decade, very few pair systems have been identified in the near-Earth asteroid population. We present data and analysis that supports the existence of two genetically related pairs in near-Earth space. …”

Tidal Disruption of Near-Earth Asteroids during Close Encounters with Terrestrial Planets by Mikael Granvik, Kevin J. Walsh

“…Numerical modeling has long suggested that gravitationally bound (or so-called rubble-pile) near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) can be destroyed by tidal forces during close and slow encounters with terrestrial planets. …”

Spectral and spin measurement of two small and fast-rotating near-Earth asteroids by Polishook, David, Lockhart, Matthew, Golisch, W., Bus, S. J., Gulbis, Amanda A. S., DeMeo, Francesca E, Binzel, Richard P

“…Their spectral characteristics are somewhat atypical among near-Earth asteroids: C-complex for 2012 KP24 and B-type for 2012 KT42, from which we interpret the albedos of both asteroids to be between 0.10 and 0.15 and maximum effective diameters of 20 ± 6 and 6 ± 1 m, respectively. …”
