Abstract

On a plane passing through the Earth, the Sun and asteroid, in the elongation-surveillance range coordinate system, a diagram is constructed that consists of the isolines of diameters of detected asteroids, which are calculated by Bowell formula. When changing the values of the limiting magnitude of telescope and the asteroid albedo, the configuration of isolines on the diagram unalters. Using the asteroid motion trajectory constructed on the diagram, the feasibility of its continuous surveillance is assessed.

Keywords:

asteroid-comet hazard, spacecraft, detection range, asteroid diameter, Bowell formula, visualization
