Observed asteroid surface area in the thermal infrared
C. R. Nugent, A. Mainzer, J. Masiero +5
The rapid accumulation of thermal infrared observations and shape models of asteroids has led to increased interest in thermophysical modeling. Most of these infrared observations…
NEOWISE Reactivation Mission Year Two: Asteroid Diameters and Albedos
C. R. Nugent, A. Mainzer, J. Bauer +6
The Near-Earth Object Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) mission continues to detect, track, and characterize minor planets. We present diameters and albedos calculated…
The Albedo Distribution of Near Earth Asteroids
Edward L. Wright, Amy Mainzer, Joseph Masiero +2
The cryogenic WISE mission in 2010 was extremely sensitive to asteroids and not biased against detecting dark objects. The albedos of 428 Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) observed by WI…
Forming Chondrites in a Solar Nebula with Magnetically Induced Turbulence
Yasuhiro Hasegawa, Neal J. Turner, Joseph Masiero +3
Chondritic meteorites provide valuable opportunities to investigate the origins of the solar system. We explore impact jetting as a mechanism of chondrule formation and subsequent…
