Today on the arXiv:
Wiegert & Hyatt 2024, "Encounter circumstances of asteroid 99942 Apophis with the catalogue of known asteroids" - https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.00541
Reassuringly confirming that #Apophis cannot be significantly perturbed by running into anything.
Wiegert & Hyatt also make the interesting suggestion of monitoring Apophis for dust from micrometeoroid impacts.
