WISE/NEOWISE Observations of the Hilda Population: Preliminary Results
T. Grav, A. K. Mainzer, J. Bauer +14
We present the preliminary analysis of 1023 known asteroids in the Hilda region of the Solar System observed by the NEOWISE component of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WI…
WISE/NEOWISE Observations of the Jovian Trojans: Preliminary Results
T. Grav, A. K. Mainzer, J. Bauer +13
We present the preliminary analysis of over 1739 known and 349 candidate Jovian Trojans observed by the NEOWISE component of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). With th…
NEOWISE Studies of Spectrophotometrically Classified Asteroids: Preliminary Results
A. Mainzer, T. Grav, J. Masiero +10
The NEOWISE dataset offers the opportunity to study the variations in albedo for asteroid classification schemes based on visible and near-infrared observations for a large sample…
NEOWISE Observations of Near-Earth Objects: Preliminary Results
A. Mainzer, T. Grav, J. Bauer +34
With the NEOWISE portion of the \emph{Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer} (WISE) project, we have carried out a highly uniform survey of the near-Earth object (NEO) population at…
Main Belt Asteroids with WISE/NEOWISE I: Preliminary Albedos and Diameters
Joseph R. Masiero, A. K. Mainzer, T. Grav +15
We present initial results from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), a four-band all-sky thermal infrared survey that produces data well suited to measuring the physical…
Thermal Model Calibration for Minor Planets Observed with WISE/NEOWISE: Comparison with IRAS
A. Mainzer, T. Grav, J. Masiero +5
With thermal infrared observations detected by the NEOWISE project, we have measured diameters for 1742 minor planets that were also observed by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite…
