From: Gravitational perturbations correlated with the asteroid kinetic impact deflection technique
The closest approaches between the asteroid and the Earth along a period of about 100 years (\(\delta\)) (y axis), after negative velocity variations at different mean anomalies (x axis) to simulate different positions for the application of impulse. The black dots are the closest approach of the asteroid to the Earth without the application of impulse. The \(\delta\) is shown in terms of Earth radii.
