Probing the Taxonomic Diversity of the Small Near-Earth Object Population
Andy J. López-Oquendo, David E. Trilling, Michael Mommert +1
Small near-Earth objects (NEOs) represent the immediate source population of meteors and meteorites and provide a direct window into the compositional and dynamical evolution of th…
Thermal and Optical Characterization of Near-Earth Objects: Science Commissioning of the Recently Upgraded Mid-Infrared Camera MIRSI on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility
Andy J. López-Oquendo, Joseph L. Hora, David E. Trilling +1
Mid-infrared (mid-IR) observations of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) have historically been a valuable tool for understanding their physical properties. However, the current state of mi…
Design and Performance of the Upgraded Mid-InfraRed Spectrometer and Imager (MIRSI) on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility
Joseph L. Hora, David E. Trilling, Andy J. Lopez-Oquendo +12
We describe the new design and current performance of the Mid-InfraRed Spectrometer and Imager (MIRSI) on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF). The system has been converted…
Infrared Colors of Small Serendipitously-Found Asteroids in the UKIRT Hemisphere Survey
Samantha G. Morrison, Ryder H. Strauss, David E. Trilling +3
The UKIRT Hemisphere Survey covers the northern sky in the infrared from 0-60 degrees declination. Current data releases include both J and K bands, with H-band data forthcoming. H…
Laser Irradiation of Carbonaceous Chondrite Simulants: Space Weathering Implications for C-complex Asteroids
Andy J. López-Oquendo, Mark J. Loeffler, David E. Trilling
Surfaces of carbonaceous asteroids (C-complex) have shown diverse contrasting spectral variations, which may be related to space weathering. We performed laser irradiation experime…
Physical Characterization of 2015 JD1: A Possibly Inhomogeneous Near-Earth Asteroid
Andy J. López-Oquendo, David E. Trilling, Annika Gustafsson +7
The surfaces of airless bodies such as asteroids are exposed to many phenomena that can alter their physical properties. Bennu, the target of the OSIRIS-REx mission, has demonstrat…
