Data Set Abstract
This data set contains low-resolution near-infrared (~0.7-2.5
microns) spectra of 40 near-Earth asteroids observed with the
SpeX instrument on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) on
Mauna Kea, Hawai'i. This data set archives reduced,
calibrated spectra that were obtained as part of Vishnu
Reddy's Ph.D. disseration at the University of North Dakota.
They have been used for detailed mineralogical/compositional
analysis and thermal modeling to constrain the albedo of these
objects.
