Proposal Title: Radar imaging of Five Near­Earth Asteroids
ABSTRACT:
We propose to obtain imaging of five near­Earth asteroids from February to April, 2008. This interval provides an
unusually large number of high­SNR asteroid targets. We propose to obtain radar images of these objects with
su#cient resolution and aspect coverage to generate detailed shape models. For four of the objects, we will use the
resulting shape models to model thermal emission, which will be measured for these objects using the mid­IR
spectrometer at the IRTF on Mauna Kea.
