The CSS detection probability (Equation (5)) as a function of orbital elements for four different absolute magnitude values. From top to bottom, we plot ﹩{ \mathcal P }(a,e,i,H)﹩ for H corresponding to objects with D = 3 km, 1 km, 300 m, and 50 m (H = 15.37, 17.75, 20.37, and 24.26 for the reference albedo p V = 0.14). The plots in the left column show ﹩{ \mathcal P }﹩ for the fixed orbital inclination (i = 10°) and several eccentricity values. The plots on the right show ﹩{ \mathcal P }﹩ for e = 0.6 and several inclination values. The detection probability was computed for orbits with q < 1.3 au.
