Spectral Similarity of Unbound Asteroid Pairs
Stephen D. Wolters, Paul R. Weissman, Apostolis Christou +2
Infrared spectroscopy between 0.8 and 2.5 microns has been obtained for both components of three unbound asteroid pairs, using the NASA-IRTF with the SpeX instrument. Pair primary…
The Influence of Global Self-Heating on the Yarkovsky and YORP Effects
Ben Rozitis, Simon F. Green
We present an adaptation of the ATPM to simultaneously predict the Yarkovsky and YORP effects in the presence of global self-heating that occurs within the large concavities of irr…
WatSen: Design and testing of a prototype mid-IR spectrometer and microscope package for Mars exploration
Stephen D. Wolters, Jon K. Hagene, Arnt T. Sund +8
We have designed and built a compact breadboard prototype instrument called WatSen: a combined ATR mid-IR spectrometer, fixed-focus microscope, and humidity sensor. The instrument…
Physical characterisation of low delta-V asteroid (175706) 1996 FG3
Stephen D. Wolters, Ben Rozitis, Samuel R. Duddy +5
Asteroid (175706) 1996 FG3 is a binary asteroid and the baseline target for the proposed MarcoPolo-R sample-return mission. We present thermal IR photometry obtained with the ESO V…
Measurement requirements for a near-Earth asteroid impact mitigation demonstration mission
Stephen D. Wolters, Andrew J. Ball, Nigel Wells +2
A concept for an Impact Mitigation Preparation Mission, called Don Quijote, is to send two spacecraft to a Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA): an Orbiter and an Impactor. The Impactor colli…
Investigation of Systematic Bias in Radiometric Diameter Determination of Near-Earth Asteroids: the Night Emission Simulated Thermal Model (NESTM)
Stephen D. Wolters, Simon F. Green
The Near-Earth Asteroid Thermal Model (NEATM, Harris, 1998) has proven to be a reliable simple thermal model for radiometric diameter determination. However NEATM assumes zero ther…
