Enter the search parameters for asteroids reaching brightest during the chosen month and year. In most cases, opposition and date of brightest are within a few days of one another. However, for some NEAs,the two dates could be weeks or months apart and the NEA could have up to three oppositions during a given apparition.

To avoid causing a server timeout when selecting all months for a year, make sure to apply one or more filters. "All" with no filters returns a maximum of 200 records.

The filters are applied with Boolean AND, i.e., all conditions must be met.

  
Table Filtering Options

Selecting "All" without filters limits the result set to 200 records.
Family/Group Group numbers preceed the colon
More than one family can be selected. If "Any" is chosen, any other selected families will be ignored.

The family list is based on Nesvorny et al. (2015) with additional families from the AstDys site as well as broad groups that contain objects not in the families.

See Section 3 of the LCDB Readme PDF for more information about families and a list of family numbers/names.
