We have deduced the orbital and size distributions of the near-Earth astero
ids (NEAs) by (i) numerically integrating NEAs from their source regions to
their observed orbits, (ii) estimating the observational biases and size d
istribution associated with asteroids on those orbits, and (iii) creating a
model population that can be fit to the known NEAs. We predict that there
are similar to 900 NEAs with absolute magnitude Less than 18 (that is, kilo
meter-sized), of which 29, 65, and 6% reside on Amor, Apollo, and Aten orbi
ts, respectively. These results suggest that roughly 40% of the kilometer-s
ized NEAs have been found. The remainder, on highly eccentric and inclined
orbits, are more difficult to detect.
