✦ Synopsis

Arecibo radar echo spectra show the Q-class asteroid 1862 Apollo to have an elongation within 10% of 1.27, a pole-on silhouette with an average dimension of about 1.7 km, and disc-integrated radar properties that are typical for radar-detected near-Earth asteroids.

The combination of Arecibo radar echoes and available vis/IR data indicates that 288 Glauke is an S-class object slightly smaller and less elongated than 243 Ida, with radar surface properties near the average for S asteroids in the main belt, in an extraordinarily slow (∼50-d) rotation state.

We report Doppler-only (cw) radar observations of basaltic near-Earth asteroid 3908 Nyx obtained at Arecibo and Goldstone in September and October of 1988. The circular polarization ratio of 0.75 ± 0.03 exceeds ∼90% of those reported among radar-detected near-Earth asteroids and it implies an extrem
