REDDY IRTF NEAR-EARTH ASTEROID SPECTRA V1.0

Published by National Aeronautics and Space Administration | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2025 at 04:58 PM | Dataset Last Updated: July 17, 2025
This data set contains low-resolution near-infrared (~0.7-2.5 microns) spectra of 40 near-Earth asteroids observed with the SpeX instrument on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) on Mauna Kea, Hawai'i. This data set archives reduced, calibrated spectra that were obtained as part of Vishnu Reddy's Ph.D. disseration at the University of North Dakota. They have been used for detailed mineralogical/compositional analysis and thermal modeling to constrain the albedo of these objects.
