Observed asteroid surface area in the thermal infrared
C. R. Nugent, A. Mainzer, J. Masiero +5
The rapid accumulation of thermal infrared observations and shape models of asteroids has led to increased interest in thermophysical modeling. Most of these infrared observations…
Proton irradiation results for long-wave HgCdTe infrared detector arrays for NEOCam
M. Dorn, J. L. Pipher, C. McMurtry +6
HgCdTe detector arrays with a cutoff wavelength of ~10 m intended for the NEOCam space mission were subjected to proton beam irradiation at the University of California Davis Cr…
NEOWISE Reactivation Mission Year Two: Asteroid Diameters and Albedos
C. R. Nugent, A. Mainzer, J. Bauer +6
The Near-Earth Object Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) mission continues to detect, track, and characterize minor planets. We present diameters and albedos calculated…
The Albedo Distribution of Near Earth Asteroids
Edward L. Wright, Amy Mainzer, Joseph Masiero +2
The cryogenic WISE mission in 2010 was extremely sensitive to asteroids and not biased against detecting dark objects. The albedos of 428 Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) observed by WI…
Modeling the Performance of the LSST in Surveying the Near-Earth Object Population
Tommy Grav, Amy Mainzer, Tim Spahr
We have performed a detailed survey simulation of the LSST performance with regards to near-Earth objects (NEOs) using the project's current baseline cadence. The survey shows that…
