Arecibo Radar Observations of 19 Near-Earth Asteroids during January-June,

2013
ABSTRACT:
We propose to observe 19 near-Earth asteroids with the planetary radar to obtain detailed images with resolutions up to 7.5 m/pixel; estimate 3D shapes, rotation periods, and pole directions; discern surface features; search for satellites; and improve asteroid orbits. Our targets include ob jects between 20 meters to several kilometers in diameter, with a wide range of rotation periods and compositions, and features several ob jects that should provide images comparable in their detail to those obtained by spacecraft flyby missions.
