Observations of a near-Earth asteroid (85990) 1999 JV6 with Arecibo Planetary

Radar
ABSTRACT:
Radar observations are an excellent source of information about the sizes, spin-states and shapes of near-Earth asteroids. We propose to use the Planetary Radar for observations of a small near-Earth asteroid (85990) 1999 JV6 during a close approach in January 2016. The target is selected from the YORP-detection candidates monitored optically with the ESO Large Programme led by S. C. Lowry and has been already observed at Arecibo in January 2015. The proposed observations will be complemented by existing optical photometric lightcurve data, covering the period between 2007 and 2015. Linking the radar observations with the photometric data will help to refine its shape and spin-state model allowing determination of the strength of YORP torques on this body.
