Scientific paper

The search for moving objects in data returned by the IRAS satellite
found fewer Apollo asteroids than expected. The three such asteroids
which were detected all have unusual characteristics and may be extinct
cometary nuclei. The probability that this selection would arise by
chance is less than 1 per cent.
