Classifying and Characterizing the Evolution of the Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance for Near-Earth Asteroids

In this paper, the minimum orbit intersection distances (MOIDs) of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) over the next 200 yr are computed and analyzed in detail. It is shown that the MOID of an NEA relative to the Earth–Moon barycenter is usually a better metric for predicting a potential impact than that re...
