The Design Reference Asteroid (DRA) is a compilation of all that is known about the OSIRIS-REx mission target, asteroid (101955) Bennu. It contains our best knowledge of the proper…
The shape and spin state of (275677) 2000 RS11 from ground-based radar and optical observations
Richard E. Cannon, Agata Rożek, Kaley Brauer +12
Near-Earth asteroid (275677) 2000 RS11 was observed over 5 days in March 2014 with both the Arecibo (2380 MHz, 12.6 cm) and Goldstone (8560 MHz, 3.5 cm) planetary radar systems. Th…
Detecting Earth's Temporarily-Captured Natural Satellites - Minimoons
Bryce Bolin, Robert Jedicke, Mikael Granvik +7
We present a study on the discoverability of temporarily captured orbiters (TCOs) by present day or near-term anticipated ground-based and space-based facilities. TCOs (Granvik et…
All-Stokes Parameterization of the Main Beam and First Sidelobe for the Arecibo Radio Telescope
Carl Heiles, Phil Perillat, Michael Nolan +8
We describe a scheme that characterizes the main beam and sidelobe in all Stokes parameters employing parameters that allow reconstruction of the complete beam patterns and, also,…
