The global thermophysical properties of (433) Eros

We present results from a shape-based, rotationally-resolved thermophysical model of near-Earth asteroid (433) Eros, using reflected and near-IR spectra collected at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) over 18 nights (25 disk-integrated in total) 2009 to 2019. The data sample variety viewing geometries, illumination angles, rotational phases therefore allow us characterize Eros's surface physical properties detail, particularly wavelengths thermal regime (? > 3.5 ?m) that were not measured by NEAR Shoemaker mission. shape, spin state, density, albedo, other incorporated into our model, leaving inertia roughness as free parameters. find range 100–150 J m?2 K?1 s-1/2 crater fraction 0.3–0.4 with opening angle 130° (equivalent adirectional rms slope 32° +/? 4°) fit 1? level, but do remaining 7 spectra. This suggests vary its surface, which has important implications for linking remote sensing spacecraft measurements asteroids.
