David Nesvorny: The NEO population: Dynamics & observations
- 26/11: - What are the Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs)? Why do we care? Observations, basic dynamical processes.
- 27/11: - What is a dynamical model for NEAs? How do we build it? N-body simulations, observational biases, model parameters.
- 28/11: - Putting things together. Bayesian inference with Multinest. Results: orbit/magnitude distributions, thermal/tidal disruption.
- 29/11: - Adding WISE albedo constraints, size distribution, and impact flux on the Earth. Future with the NEO Surveyor and Rubin Observatory.
