NEOWISE Data Processing and Color Corrections for Near-Earth Asteroid Observations
Samuel A. Myers, Ellen S. Howell, Yanga R. Fernández +4
The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer and NEOWISE missions are a key source of thermal data for near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). These missions, which utilized a space-based platform…
Inconsistencies in Simple Thermal Model Results for Near-Earth Asteroids between Infrared Telescope Facility SpeX and NEOWISE Data
Samuel A. Myers, Ellen S. Howell, Christopher Magri +4
Understanding the properties of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) is key for many aspects of planetary science, particularly planetary defense. Our current knowledge of NEA sizes and reg…
Near to Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy of (65803) Didymos as observed by JWST: Characterization Observations Supporting the Double Asteroid Redirection Test
Andrew S. Rivkin, Cristina A. Thomas, Ian Wong +17
The Didymos binary asteroid was the target of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, which intentionally impacted Dimorphos, the smaller member of the binary system.…
Constraining the Limitations of NEATM-like Models: A Case Study with Near-Earth Asteroid (285263) 1998 QE2
Samuel A. Myers, Ellen S. Howell, Christopher Magri +4
Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) are a key testbed for investigations into planet formation, asteroid dynamics, and planetary defense initiatives. These studies rely on understanding NE…
The Nature of Low-Albedo Small Bodies from 3-m Spectroscopy: One Group that Formed Within the Ammonia Snow Line and One that Formed Beyond It
Andrew S. Rivkin, Joshua P. Emery, Ellen S. Howell +9
We present evidence, via a large survey of 191 new spectra along with previously-published spectra, of a divide in the 3-m spectral properties of the low-albedo asteroid populat…
Radial Distribution of the Dust Comae of Comets 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajduusáková and 46P/Wirtanen
C. Lejoly, W. Harris, N. Samarasinha +21
There was an unprecedented opportunity to study the inner dust coma environment, where the dust and gas are not entirely decoupled, of comets 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajduusáková (45P/HMP)…
