Thermophysical Investigation of Asteroid Surfaces I: Characterization of Thermal Inertia
Eric M. MacLennan, Joshua P. Emery
The thermal inertia of an asteroid is an indicator of the thermophysical properties of the regolith and is determined by the size of grains on the surface. Previous thermophysical…
