BUS DEMEO TAXONOMY MODS
This paper uses data taken with the MODS spectrographs built with funding from NSF grant AST-9987045 and the NSF Telescope System Instrumentation Program (TSIP), with additional funds from the Ohio Board of Regents and the Ohio State University Office of Research. Reddy’s work presented in this paper is supported by NASA Near-Earth Object Observations Program Grant NNX17AJ19G (PI: Reddy). T1 - Lunar-like silicate material forms the Earth quasi-satellite (469219) 2016 HO3 Kamoʻoalewaī.N.L.
This interpretation implies extensive space weathering and raises the prospect that Kamo 2021, The Author(s).", We compare the spectrum to those of several material analogs and conclude that the best match is with lunar-like silicates. This spectrum is indicative of a silicate-based composition, but with reddening beyond what is typically seen amongst asteroids in the inner solar system. We find that (469219) Kamoʻoalewa rotates with a period of 28.3 (+1.8/−1.3) minutes and displays a reddened reflectance spectrum from 0.4–2.2 microns. Here we use the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) and the Lowell Discovery Telescope (LDT) to conduct a comprehensive physical characterization of quasi-satellite (469219) Kamoʻoalewa and assess its affinity with other groups of near-Earth objects. Abstract = "Little is known about Earth quasi-satellites, a class of near-Earth small solar system bodies that orbit the sun but remain close to the Earth, because they are faint and difficult to observe.
