Cumulative frequency distributions for several major NEO spectroscopic and color surveys. The median absolute magnitude H for each survey is: 17.8 for MITHNEOS (R. P. Binzel et al. 2019), 18.6 for NEOROCKS (M. Birlan et al. 2024), 21.0 for NEOSHIELD2 (D. Perna et al. 2018), 21.8 for RATIR (S. Navarro-Meza et al. 2024), 22.4 for J. A. Sanchez et al. (2024), 25.1 for MANOS spectra (M. Devogèle et al. 2019), and 23.9 for the MANOS colors presented here. The number of objects observed by each of these surveys is given in parentheses in the legend. MANOS has systematically focused on subkilometer NEOs (H  >  20), objects that are underrepresented in existing datasets.
