ExploreNEOs VIII: Dormant Short-Period Comets in the Near-Earth Asteroid Population
M. Mommert, A. W. Harris, M. Mueller +8
We perform a search for dormant comets, asteroidal objects of cometary origin, in the near-Earth asteroid (NEA) population based on dynamical and physical considerations. Our study…
Physical Properties of Near-Earth Asteroid 2011 MD
M. Mommert, D. Farnocchia, J. L. Hora +7
We report on observations of near-Earth asteroid 2011 MD with the Spitzer Space Telescope. We have spent 19.9 h of observing time with channel 2 (4.5 μm) of the Infrared Array Came…
Constraining the Physical Properties of Near-Earth Object 2009 BD
M. Mommert, J. L. Hora, D. Farnocchia +7
We report on Spitzer Space Telescope IRAC observations of near-Earth object (NEO) 2009 BD that were carried out in support of the NASA Asteroid Robotic Retrieval Mission (ARRM) con…
ExploreNEOs III: Physical characterization of 65 low-deltaV NEOs
Michael Mueller, M. Delbo', J. L. Hora +14
Space missions to NEOs are being planned at all major space agencies, and recently a manned mission to an NEO was announced as a NASA goal. Efforts to find and select suitable targ…
