Arecibo Radar Observations of Near-Earth Asteroid 2006 WB

2006 WB is a small (roughly 100 m across) near-Earth asteroid. It approaches to within 0.03 AU (10 lunar distances) on Dec 14. Ob jects in this size range are interesting because they are near the transition between strength- and gravity-dominated shape and rotational properties. 2006 WB is classified as a potentially hazardous ob ject and radar astrometry would dramatically increase the interval of accurate tra jectory prediction. We propose two days of observations for rotation phase coverage.
