Highlights ► We examined the distribution of positions of MOIDs between Near Earth Asteroids. ► Most probable circumstances of close approaches and possible collisions are found. ► Results can be used for development of fast algorithms for MOIDs determination.
Abstract This paper presents the distributions of the positions of the Minimal Orbit Intersection Distances (MOID) among three subgroups of the Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs). This includes 683 Atens, 4185 Apollos and 3538 Amors which makes over 15 millions combinations of the pairs of orbits. The results which are obtained in this analysis show very interesting distributions of positions of the MOIDs and circumstances of close approaches of the asteroids and emphasize influence of different orbital elements on these distributions.
