Arecibo Radar Imaging of Nine Near-Earth Asteroids During September 2010-

February 2011
ABSTRACT:
We plan to observe nine near-Earth asteroids with the Arecibo S-band planetary radar system to continue our very successful program of characterizing the near-Earth asteroid population. Our goals include detailed physical characterization, determination of binarity or multiplicity, orbital refinement, and shape modeling depending on the quality of the data obtained. A better understanding of the near-Earth asteroid population is necessary to assess impact hazards with Earth and constraining models of the formation and evolution of the solar system.
