Proposal Title: Radar Detection of Six M­class Asteroids
ABSTRACT:
We propose to observe six M­class asteroids, five of which have never been observed. Our purpose is to continue
our systematic investigation into the properties of the M­class asteroids, long thought to be remnant cores of early
planetesimals. Successful observation of these six objects will: (1) increase our total sample size of observed
M­asteroids by 25% to 25 total objects; and (2) provide a second look at a potential M­class contact binary, 678
Fredegundis.
