Arecibo radar imaging of four very strong near-Earth asteroids during July-

September 2008
ABSTRACT:
We propose delay-Doppler radar imaging, physical modeling, satellite searches, and orbital refinement of near-Earth asteroids 1996 HW1, 1998 UO1, 2003 YE45, and 2005 RC34, which are very strong targets during July-September 2008. 1996 HW1 is among the largest ob jects in the near-Earth population. 1998 UO1 is a rapid 2.9-hour rotator that is a prime candidate for being a binary system. 2003 YE45 and 2005 RC34 are extremely strong targets and imaging at 7.5 m resolution could place thousands of pixels on their surfaces and reveal considerable detail.
