... As the SN activity in the first generation stellar population must be small at present, the net SN rate in the vicinity of the Sun is approximately proportional to the local density of stars of second generation (or to the star formation rate, which is the same), especially for SN II and SN Ib. If a -like star formation of the first generation stars took place, a hump on the observed - showing the relative fraction of the first generation stars should be observed. ...

Each point in this graph represents one star in NGC 2808.

Since most of the risk resides in the largest impactors, finding that fraction of the largest bodies, and that none of them has a significant chance of impacting in the next century or so, "retires" more than 90 % of the impact risk, including most of the risk of a globally catastrophic impact event. ... In the mid-size range, from ~150 m to ~1 km, the main risk is from tsunami generated by an ocean impact. ...
