NEOMOD 2: An Updated Model of Near-Earth Objects from a Decade of Catalina Sky Survey Observations
Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) is a major survey of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). In a recent work, we used CSS observations from 2005-2012 to develop a new population model of NEOs (NEOMOD). CSS's G96 telescope was upgraded in 2016 and detected over 10,000 unique NEOs since then. Here we characterize...

Zusammenfassung: | Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) is a major survey of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). In
a recent work, we used CSS observations from 2005-2012 to develop a new
population model of NEOs (NEOMOD). CSS's G96 telescope was upgraded in 2016 and
detected over 10,000 unique NEOs since then. Here we characterize the NEO
detection efficiency of G96 and use G96's NEO detections from 2013-2022 to
update NEOMOD. This resolves previous model inconsistencies related to the
population of large NEOs. We estimate there are 936+/-29 NEOs with absolute
magnitude H1 km for the reference albedo p_V=0.14). The
slope of the NEO size distribution for H=25-28 is found to be relatively
shallow (cumulative index 2.6) and the number of H9 m) is
determined to be (1.20+/-0.04)x10^7. Small NEOs have a different orbital
distribution and higher impact probabilities than large NEOs. We estimate
0.034+/-0.002 impacts of H |
