Group 		Impact orbits of
Potentially Hazardous Asteroids


In this page we list all the Potentially Hazardous Asteroids for which we determined the impact orbits compatible with the existing set of observations. Our investigation were performed from the present days till 2100, except some special asteroids as (29075) 1950 DA. We listed also objects classified as PHA's that were analysed by us and any impact orbit were possible to detemine up to 2100.

We can "clone" the impact orbit, compute impact parameters, and can determine a path of the impact locations on the Earth surface ( example 2 ).

In the table given below we indicate the entries to all the asteroids for which we derived impact orbits ( yes button) and to asteroids we have found no impact orbits ( no button).
