Near-Earth Objects: Surveys

Scientific paper

The CINEOS program is carried out at the Campo Imperatore station of the Rome Observatory (OAR-INAF) near the summit of the Gran Sasso Mountain at about 2150 m of elevation. The program has recently restarted operations after a brief period of activity in 1996-1997, taking advantage of improved hardware and software capabilities. CINEOS operates using a Schmidt telescope (60/90/183 cm), equipped with a 2048×2048 high quantum efficiency CCD detector with a FoV of 52'×52'. CINEOS' main purposes are: I) the discovery of NEOs at small solar elongation, in particular Atens and IEOs; II) a NEO follow-up and recovery program according to the suggestions provided by the Spaceguard Central Node. We present the current status of the program and first preliminary results.
