COSINE (Cometary Object Study Investigating their Nature and Evolution) II: Colors and Sizes of Comet Nuclei
Yuna G. Kwon, Dar W. Dahlen, Joseph R. Masiero +6
Comet nuclei preserve a record of planetesimal formation, but their sizes are difficult to measure because the nucleus is usually blended with its coma. We present a catalog of nuc…
Kete: Predicting Known Minor Bodies in Images
D. Dahlen, Y. G. Kwon, J. R. Masiero +2
Kete is an open-source software package for quickly and accurately predicting the positions and magnitudes of asteroids and comets in large-scale, all-sky surveys. It can predict o…
COSINE (Cometary Object Study Investigating their Nature and Evolution) I. Project Overview and General Characteristics of Detected Comets
Yuna G. Kwon, Dar W. Dahlen, Joseph R. Masiero +8
We present the first results from the COSINE (Cometary Object Study Investigating their Nature and Evolution) project, based on a uniformly processed dataset of 484 comets observed…
Visual-band brightnesses of Near Earth Objects that will be discovered in the infrared by NEO Surveyor
Joseph R. Masiero, Tyler Linder, Amy Mainzer +2
NEO Surveyor will detect asteroids and comets using mid-infrared thermal emission, however ground-based followup resources will require knowledge of the expected visible light brig…
The Sensitivity of NEO Surveyor to Low-Perihelion Asteroids
Joseph R. Masiero, Yuna G. Kwon, Dar W. Dahlen +2
Asteroids with low orbital perihelion distances experience extreme heating from the Sun that can modify their surfaces and trigger non-typical activity mechanisms. These objects ar…
The NEO Surveyor Near Earth Asteroid Known Object Model
Tommy Grav, Amy K. Mainzer, Joseph R. Masiero +4
The known near-Earth object (NEO) population consists of over 32,000 objects, with a yearly discovery rate of over 3000 NEOs per year. An essential component of the next generation…
Validation of the Survey Simulator tool for the NEO Surveyor mission using NEOWISE data
Joseph R. Masiero, Dar W. Dahlen, Amy K. Mainzer +4
The Near Earth Object Surveyor mission has a requirement to find two-thirds of the potentially hazardous asteroids larger than 140 meters in size. In order to determine the mission…
The Near-Earth Object Surveyor Mission
A. K. Mainzer, Joseph R. Masiero, Paul A. Abell +34
The Near-Earth Object (NEO) Surveyor mission is a NASA observatory designed to discover and characterize near-Earth asteroids and comets. The mission's primary objective is to find…
