Abstract
Modern ideas about objects approaching the Earth are discussed. This population includes near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), including potentially hazardous asteroids, short-period comets, meteoroid streams, and large sporadic meteoroids. An overview is given of the currently available information on the dynamic and physical properties of NEAs and comets. Almost 5% of the currently known NEAs are extinct cometary nuclei or their fragments. Being outwardly similar with true asteroids, they differ markedly in their dynamic and physical properties. In order to distinguish between these groups of objects, it is necessary to study both their dynamic and physical parameters. Some of the known meteoroid streams are shown to contain, along with the countless small meteoroids, also large extinct fragments of cometary nuclei, which are classified as NEAs. A meteoroid stream and such bodies belonging to it form together an asteroid–meteoroid complex. Observational and theoretical data are presented to confirm the modern understanding of near-Earth objects.
期刊介绍：
Solar System Research publishes articles concerning the bodies of the Solar System, i.e., planets and their satellites, asteroids, comets, meteoric substances, and cosmic dust. The articles consider physics, dynamics and composition of these bodies, and techniques of their exploration. The journal addresses the problems of comparative planetology, physics of the planetary atmospheres and interiors, cosmochemistry, as well as planetary plasma environment and heliosphere, specifically those related to solar-planetary interactions. Attention is paid to studies of exoplanets and complex problems of the origin and evolution of planetary systems including the solar system, based on the results of astronomical observations, laboratory studies of meteorites, relevant theoretical approaches and mathematical modeling. Alongside with the original results of experimental and theoretical studies, the journal publishes scientific reviews in the field of planetary exploration, and notes on observational results.
