### Asteroid Thermal Inertia Estimates from Remote Infrared Observations: The Effects of Surface Roughness and Rotation Rate

• Physics, Geology
The Astrophysical Journal
• 2020
The thermal inertia of an asteroid’s surface can provide insight into regolith properties, such as the presence of a layer of fine dust, the density and thermal conductivity of a rocky surface, and,

### Analysis of Four-band WISE Observations of Asteroids

• Physics
The Planetary Science Journal
• 2022
We analyzed 82,548 carefully curated observations of 4420 asteroids with Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) four-band data to produce estimates of diameters and infrared emissivities. We also

### An Investigation of the Ranges of Validity of Asteroid Thermal Models for Near-Earth Asteroid Observations

• Physics, Geology
• 2018
The majority of known asteroid diameters are derived from thermal-infrared observations. Diameters are derived using asteroid thermal models that approximate their surface temperature distributions

### A Thermal Model for Near-Earth Asteroids

Abstract It has become common practice in studies of the thermal emission from near-Earth asteroids to employ thermal models developed on the basis of infrared observations of large, main-belt

### MAIN BELT ASTEROIDS WITH WISE/NEOWISE. I. PRELIMINARY ALBEDOS AND DIAMETERS

• Geology, Physics
• 2011
We present initial results from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), a four-band all-sky thermal infrared survey that produces data well suited for measuring the physical properties of

### HOW TO FIND METAL-RICH ASTEROIDS

• Physics, Geology
• 2014
The metal content of asteroids is of great interest, not only for theories of their origins and the evolution of the solar system but, in the case of near-Earth objects (NEOs), also for impact

### Comparison of Asteroids Observed in the SDSS with a Catalog of Known Asteroids

• Physics, Geology
• 2002
We positionally correlate asteroids from existing catalogs with a sample of $\about$18,000 asteroids detected by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS, Ivezi\'{c} {\em et al.} 2001). We find 2641 unique

### A Family-based Method of Quantifying NEOWISE Diameter Errors

• Physics, Geology
The Astronomical Journal
• 2018
Quantifying the accuracy with which physical properties of asteroids can be determined from thermal modeling is critical to measuring the impact of infrared data on our understanding of asteroids.

### Thermal Infrared Spectrophotometry of the Near-Earth Asteroids 2100 Ra-Shalom and 1991 EE

• Physics, Environmental Science
• 1998
Abstract Thermal infrared observations of the near-Earth asteroids 2100 Ra-Shalom and 1991 EE are presented and interpreted with the aid of published asteroid thermal models. The broad wavelength
