The OSIRIS‐REx target asteroid (101955) Bennu: Constraints on its physical, geological, and dynamical nature from astronomical observations (2015, background): “This resonance is not only the dominant supplier of NEOs, but it tends to be very good at producing those that have Earth-like orbits, such as Bennu (Bottke et al. 2002).”
Evidence for asteroid space weathering from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (2005, methodology): “In contrast, models predict much longer durations for proce like the Yarkovsky effect and small resonances to in collisional fragments into the planet-crossing space ( Migliorini et al., 1998; Bottke et al., 2002; Morbidelli an Vokrouhlický, 2003; Binzel et al., 2004).”
Near Earth Asteroids with measurable Yarkovsky effect (2012, methodology): “ing way. Table 2 contains four prograde rotators and seventeen retrograde rotators. This excess of retrograde rotators can be explained by the nature of resonance feeding into the inner Solar System (Bottke et al., 2002). Most of the primary NEA source regions (e.g., the 3:1 resonance, JFCs, Outer B”
Processes that Promote and Deplete the Exosphere of Mercury (2007, background): “Among them, the most efficient in ejecting material toward the inner Solar System are the 3 : 1 and ν6 (Morbidelli and Gladman 1998; Bottke et al. 2002).”
ACTIVITY IN GEMINID PARENT (3200) PHAETHON (2010, methodology): “Based on a numerical model, Bottke et al. (2002) found that Phaethon has a 20% likelihood of originating in the central main-belt (2.5 < a < 2.8 AU) and an 80% likelihood of originating in the inner main-belt (a < 2.5 AU).”
Origin and Evolution of Near-Earth Objects (2002, background): “The mean time spent in the NEO region is 3.75 m.y. (Bottke et al., 2002a).”
Compositional distributions and evolutionary processes for the near-Earth object population: Results from the MIT-Hawaii Near-Earth Object Spectroscopic Survey (MITHNEOS) (2019, methodology): “ference for H chondrite-like NEOs at the 3:1 resonance was previously found by Thomas and Binzel (2010), where these authors used a different spectral comparison method and the source region model of Bottke et al., (2002). Thus we consider a mid-belt preferential escape source for the H-chondrites t”
Dynamical erosion of the asteroid belt and implications for large impacts in the inner Solar System (2009, background): “10 km) into the terrestrial planet region and are responsible for delivering the majority of terrestrial planet impactors over the last ∼ 3.5 Gy (Bottke et al., 2000, 2002a,b; Strom et al., 2005).”

NEOWISE OBSERVATIONS OF NEAR-EARTH OBJECTS: PRELIMINARY RESULTS (2011, methodology): “In the S3M model, the NEO orbital elements are generated according to the distribution created from five source regions given in Bottke et al. (2002).”
THE ACTIVE ASTEROIDS (2011, background): “A dynamical simulation indicates that (2201) Oljato has negligible chance of being a captured Jupiter family comet (Bottke et al. 2002).”
The hazard of near-Earth asteroid impacts on earth (2004, background): “But throughout the enormous size range that yields recovered meteorites up to NEAs that threaten civilization, the asteroid belt’s inner half is the overwhelmingly dominant reservoir [5].”
The Compositional Structure of the Asteroid Belt (2015, methodology): “…Comets (2 TJ 3) from nearly isotropic comets (TJ 2), but is also commonly used to try to uncover dormant comets in the NEO population (Levison et al., 1994, Bottke et al., 2002b, DeMeo & Binzel 2008) and separate Main Belt Comets from the ordinary comet population (Jewitt et al., this volume).”
Bias-corrected population, size distribution, and impact hazard for the near-Earth objects (2004, methodology): “The NEO popula distribution of Bottke et al. (2002)was also used in plac of the Stuart population distribution to test the robustn of the debiasing to differing NEOorbital parameter distribu tions and to a different value of the absolute magnitude s parameter,β .”
