Arecibo Radar Imaging of Six Near-Earth Asteroids During February - May 2010

We plan to observe six NEAs with the Arecibo planetary radar system to continue our very successful program of characterizing these ob jects. New types of ob jects are still being discovered, so it is important to continue characterizing as many ob jects using good quality images. A better understanding of the population of NEAs is important to assess the impact hazard, and to constrain models of the formation of the solar system.
