About

Bryce Bolin is an astronomer whose research focuses on the discovery, characterization, and monitoring of small Solar System bodies, particularly Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) and potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs). His work is critical to understanding the long-term threats these objects pose to Earth and to developing mitigation strategies. Bolin has been instrumental in leveraging international collaborations, such as the GROWTH-India network, to observe and track these elusive objects, pushing the sensitivity of current survey telescopes to around 20–21 magnitude. His 2021 paper on GROWTH-India observations, which has garnered 3 citations, exemplifies his hands-on approach to planetary defense and asteroid science. Beyond NEOs, Bolin has contributed to the study of comets and interstellar objects, including the enigmatic `Oumuamua, exploring their physical properties and origins. His work has been cited over 1,000 times, reflecting its impact on the field. Bolin’s dedication to real-time, global monitoring of transient celestial phenomena makes him a key figure in planetary astronomy and a valuable resource for students interested in the dynamic and potentially hazardous universe.
