We examine the dynamics of a sample of 117 near-Earth objects (NEOs) over a time scale of 60 Myr. We find that while 10-20% end their lifetimes by striking a terrestrial planet (usually Venus or Earth), more than half end their lives in a Sun-grazing state, and about 15% are ejected from the Solar S
A recently published model of the Near Earth Object (NEO) orbital-magnitude distribution (Bottke et al., 2002, Icarus 156, 399-433.) relies on five intermediate sources for the NEO population: the Ξ½ 6 resonance, the 3 : 1 resonance, the outer portion of the main belt (i.e., 2.8-3.5 AU), the Mars-cro
