Asteroids Impacting the Solar System Planets and the Moon. I. Collision Rates from N-body Simulations

Previous studies have shown a mismatch between the simulated rate of asteroids impacting the Earth and the observed rate, posing an important problem for planetary defense. Extending this analysis to other planets offers a new opportunity to examine minor body populations and impactor models. We present a unified simul...

Asteroids Impacting the Solar System Planets and the Moon. II: Comparison with Observational Impact Records

Planetary impact rates are difficult to infer from observations alone because impacts are rare, observational records are target-dependent, and converting observed flashes, bolides, and craters to an intrinsic impact rate depends on uncertain selection effects and conversion parameters. Building on the simulations in P...
