Thermal infrared spectrophotometric observations of the near-Earth asteroids 433 Eros, 1980 Tezcatlipoca, and 3671 Dionysus are presented and their implications for the physical characteristics of the objects discussed. Sizes and albedos are derived on the basis of published thermal models and compa

The Near Infrared Spectrometer (NIS) instrument on the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft performed a comprehensive series of in-flight tests to validate its preflight radiometric characteristics and to characterize instrument stability, pointing, and co-alignment with other instrument
We obtain the size and orbital distributions of near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) that are expected to be in the 1 : 1 mean motion resonance with the Earth in a steady state scenario. We predict that the number of such objects with absolute magnitudes H < 18 and H < 22 is 0.65 ± 0.12 and 16.3 ± 3.0, respe
