Arecibo Radar Observations of 21 Near-Earth Asteroids During February-August

2012
ABSTRACT:
We request 75 sessions (163 hours observing + 75 hours setup = 238 hours total) to observe 21 Near-Earth Asteroids, 8 of which are likely larger than a kilometer, 7 of which offer opportunities for shape modeling at high signal-to-noise ratio (>1000/day), a few of which may be binaries, and several of which may reveal non-gravitational perturbations such as the Yarkovsky effect. Not much is known about the ma jority of the ob jects in this sample. Our goals include detailed physical characterization, determination of binarity or multiplicity, orbital refinement, and shape modeling when possible.
