Abstract
The number of discovered Near Earth Asteroids has dramatically increased in the last years. New observational data provide more informations for the dynamical studies of these objects. An important problem in the numerical studies of NEA motion is the estimation of possible perturbing effects. It is difficult to decide which effect can be neglected in the integration. Our results often depend on ‘subtle’ perturbations caused by small or distant objects. One of significant sources of perturbations in the motion of NEA is the Earth—Moon system. Some authors take into account the barycentre of the Earth—Moon system as a single perturbing body, but in some specific cases the separation of these bodies should be taken into account (especially, in the event of close encounters).
