Note: The following list contains only important
recent scientific papers on this subject. In general, the
list does not include papers on Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 and
its collision with Jupiter, on the KT impact and mass extinction,
on meteors and meteor showers, or on the dynamics and physical
properties of meteorites, comets and asteroids, unless these
papers relate directly to the impact hazard or planetary defense.
A few books on the subject are included, but most references
are to technical papers in the refereed professional literature.
