The '''Center for Computational Astrophysics''' (CCA) is a research organization in Oak Park, Illinois, whose staff performs research into current areas of astronomy and applications of probability, statistics, and Monte Carlo simulations into other areas of inquiry.  With a staff of retired professors from the Chicago area, CCA is the home base for the [[Directory:Near Earth Asteroid Reconnaissance Project|Near Earth Asteroid Reconnaissance Project]], a world-wide network of amateur astronomers and small observatories involved in the discovery and determination of the orbits of near-earth asteroids, or more generally near-earth objects, with possible earth-crossing orbits.  Its staff also authors textbooks in astronomy.<ref>http://triblocal.com/oak-park-river-forest/community/stories/2010/07/dr-les-golden-receives-book-contract-from-springer-publishers/</ref>
