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…
Shape and spin state model of contact binary (388188) 2006 DP14 using combined radar and optical observations
Richard E. Cannon, Agata Rozek, Marina Brozović +36
Contact binaries are found throughout the solar system. The recent discovery of Selam, the satellite of MBA (152830) Dinkinesh, by the NASA LUCY mission has made it clear that the…
Physical modelling of near-Earth asteroid (23187) 2000 PN9 with ground-based optical and radar observations
L. Dover, S. C. Lowry, A. Rożek +19
We present a physical model and spin-state analysis of the potentially hazardous asteroid (23187) 2000 PN9. As part of a long-term campaign to make direct detections of the YORP ef…
Orbital Period Change of Dimorphos Due to the DART Kinetic Impact
Cristina A. Thomas, Shantanu P. Naidu, Peter Scheirich +46
The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft successfully performed the first test of a kinetic impactor for asteroid deflection by impacting Dimorphos, the secondary of…
Bistatic Radar Observations of Near-Earth Asteroid (163899) 2003 SD220 from the Southern Hemisphere
Shinji Horiuchi, Blake Molyneux, Jamie B. Stevens +13
We report results of Canberra-ATCA Doppler-only continuous wave (CW) radar observations of near-Earth asteroid (163899) 2003 SD220 at a receiving frequency of 7159 MHz (4.19 cm) on…
Arecibo Radar Observations of Near-Earth Asteroid (3200) Phaethon During the 2017 Apparition
Patrick A. Taylor, Edgard G. Rivera-Valentin, Lance A. M. Benner +8
We report Arecibo S-band (2380 MHz; 12.6 cm) radar observations of near-Earth asteroid (3200) Phaethon during the December 2017 apparition when Phaethon passed within 0.07 au of Ea…
Asteroid 1566 Icarus's size, shape, orbit, and Yarkovsky drift from radar observations
Adam H. Greenberg, Jean-Luc Margot, Ashok K. Verma +4
Near-Earth asteroid (NEA) 1566 Icarus ( au, , ) made a close approach to Earth in June 2015 at 22 lunar distances (LD). Its detection during the 196…
Capabilities of Earth-based radar facilities for near-Earth asteroid observations
Shantanu. P. Naidu, Lance. A. M. Benner, Jean-Luc Margot +2
We evaluated the planetary radar capabilities at Arecibo, the Goldstone 70-m DSS-14 and 34-m DSS-13 antennas, the 70-m DSS-43 antenna at Canberra, the Green Bank Telescope, and the…
Radar Imaging and Characterization of Binary Near-Earth Asteroid (185851) 2000 DP107
Shantanu P. Naidu, Jean-Luc Margot, Patrick A. Taylor +7
Potentially hazardous asteroid (185851) 2000 DP107 was the first binary near-Earth asteroid to be imaged. Radar observations in 2000 provided images at 75 m resolution that reveale…
Orbit and Bulk Density of the OSIRIS-REx Target Asteroid (101955) Bennu
Steven R. Chesley, Davide Farnocchia, Michael C. Nolan +13
The target asteroid of the OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return mission, (101955) Bennu (formerly 1999 RQ), is a half-kilometer near-Earth asteroid with an extraordinarily well…
Radar Imaging and Physical Characterization of Near-Earth Asteroid (162421) 2000 ET70
Shantanu P. Naidu, Jean-Luc Margot, Michael W. Busch +6
We observed near-Earth asteroid (162421) 2000 ET70 using the Arecibo and Goldstone radar systems over a period of 12 days during its close approach to the Earth in February 2012. W…
