Thermal infrared spectrophotometric observations of the near-Earth asteroids 433 Eros, 1980 Tezcatlipoca, and 3671 Dionysus are presented and their implications for the physical characteristics of the objects discussed. Sizes and albedos are derived on the basis of published thermal models and compa

## Abstract Besides new observations, mining old photographic plates and CCD image archives represents an opportunity to recover and secure newly discovered asteroids, also to improve the orbits of Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs), Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) and Virtual Impactors (VIs). Thes
A simple probabilistic model for estimating the population of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) by comparing the rate of redetections of previously known asteroids of a given size with new detections during a test interval of time is described. We apply this method to the whole sample of NEA observations
We obtain the size and orbital distributions of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) that are expected to be in the 1 : 1 mean motion resonance with the Earth in a steady state scenario. We predict that the number of such objects with absolute magnitudes H < 18 and H < 22 is 0.65 ยฑ 0.12 and 16.3 ยฑ 3.0, respe
