Abstract: As current NEO surveys steadily increase the number of known objects, and with the expectation of significant contributions from LSST, our ability to understand the history of these objects correspondingly increases. Fitting numerical integrations to the observed population provides rich datasets from which the history of these objects can be inferred. Because such comprehensive integrations are computationally expensive, it is impractical to perform for the purposes of many smaller scale studies, such as the examination of a single NEO. We present here a web service for querying the statistical information on the dynamical histories of NEOs, including, but not limited to, source region probabilities, residence times, and time to initial entry, as functions of orbital elements. The service leverages comprehensive integrations of NEO orbits to provide a look up table of these statistics, which we provide access to through a publicly available API.
