A Proper Motion Survey Using the First Sky Pass of NEOWISE-Reactivation Data
Adam C. Schneider, Jennifer Greco, Michael C. Cushing +5
The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) was reactivated in December of 2013 (NEOWISE) to search for potentially hazardous near-Earth objects. We have conducted a survey usin…
Infrared Time Lags for the Periodic Quasar PG 1302-102
Hyunsung D. Jun, Daniel Stern, Matthew J. Graham +5
The optical light curve of the quasar PG 1302-102 at shows a strong, smooth 5.2 yr periodic signal, detectable over a period of yr. Although the interpretatio…
NEOWISE Reactivation Mission Year One: Preliminary Asteroid Diameters and Albedos
C. R. Nugent, A. Mainzer, J. Masiero +7
We present preliminary diameters and albedos for 7,959 asteroids detected in the first year of the NEOWISE Reactivation mission. 201 are near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). 7,758 are Main…
The Euphrosyne family's contribution to the low albedo near-Earth asteroids
Joseph R. Masiero, V. Carruba, A. Mainzer +2
The Euphrosyne asteroid family is uniquely situated at high inclination in the outer Main Belt, bisected by the nu_6 secular resonance. This large, low albedo family may thus be an…
Characterizing Asteroids Multiply-Observed at Infrared Wavelengths
Seth C. Koren, Edward L. Wright, A. Mainzer
We report Markov chain Monte Carlo fits of the thermophysical model of Wright (2007) to the fluxes of 10 asteroids which have been observed by both WISE and NEOWISE. This model is…
Space-Based Thermal Infrared Studies of Asteroids
A. Mainzer, F. Usui, D. Trilling
Large-area surveys operating at mid-infrared wavelengths have proven to be a valuable means of discovering and characterizing minor planets. Through the use of radiometric models,…
