NEOWISE Reactivation Mission Year One: Preliminary Asteroid Diameters and Albedos
read the original abstract
We present preliminary diameters and albedos for 7,959 asteroids detected in the first year of the NEOWISE Reactivation mission. 201 are near-Earth asteroids (NEAs). 7,758 are Main Belt or Mars-crossing asteroids. 17% of these objects have not been previously characterized using WISE or NEOWISE thermal measurements. Diameters are determined to an accuracy of ~20% or better. If good-quality H magnitudes are available, albedos can be determined to within ~40% or better.

Shape, Orientation and Colors Combined approach for Asteroids (SOCCA)
SOCCA extends HG1G2 by modeling the projected surface of a rotating triaxial ellipsoid to jointly retrieve absolute magnitude, phase parameters, spin state, and shape from sparse multi-band photometry, halving residua...
