NEOWISE Reactivation Mission Year One: Preliminary Asteroid Diameters and Albedos
C. R. Nugent, A. Mainzer, J. Masiero +7
We present preliminary diameters and albedos for 7,959 asteroids detected in the first year of the NEOWISE Reactivation mission. 201 are near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). 7,758 are Main…
The Euphrosyne family's contribution to the low albedo near-Earth asteroids
Joseph R. Masiero, V. Carruba, A. Mainzer +2
The Euphrosyne asteroid family is uniquely situated at high inclination in the outer Main Belt, bisected by the nu_6 secular resonance. This large, low albedo family may thus be an…
NEOWISE: Observations of the Irregular Satellites of Jupiter and Saturn
Tommy Grav, James M. Bauer, Amy K. Mainzer +5
We present thermal model fits for 11 Jovian and 3 Saturnian irregular satellites based on measurements from the WISE/NEOWISE dataset. Our fits confirm spacecraft-measured diameters…
Survey Simulations of a New Near-Earth Asteroid Detection System
A. Mainzer, T. Grav, J. Bauer +10
We have carried out simulations to predict the performance of a new space-based telescopic survey operating at thermal infrared wavelengths that seeks to discover and characterize…
