Palomar Spectroscopy of Near-Earth Asteroids 2004 SV55, 2000 SP43, 3988 (1986 LA), 1036 Ganymed, and 2002 AG29.
Abstract
We obtained long-slit CCD spectrograms of the near-Earth asteroids 2004 SV55, 2000 SP43, 3988 (1986 LA), 1036 Ganymed, and 2002 AG29 using the Palomar 5-m Hale Telescope equipped with the facility dual-channel spectrometer on October 04 2011. Several of our objects (2004 SV55, 2000 SP43, 1036 Ganymed, 2002 AG29) have been scheduled for observation at thermal wavelengths at the IRTF and for radar observation at the Arcibo/Goldstone Facilities.
