NEOWISE Mid-Infrared Light Curves of Asteroids
Abstract
We will describe the publically accessible archive of NEOWISE images and the extracted source database as a rich resource from which to mine mid-infrared light curves for thousands of asteroids. We will discuss the characteristics of the light curve data, the distribution of lengths and phase angles, and will present illustrative examples of mid-infrared light curves for a number of Near Earth Objects such as 2002 WW17.
