Cascadia Airless body Research Institute (CARI) Near Earth Asteroid (NEA) National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Grant Proposal Presentation by Tony George At IOTA 2013 Conference

1 – University of Washington (UW) 2 – Central Washington University (CWU) 3 – Columbia Basin College (CBC) 4 – Heritage University (HU) 5 – Whitman College (WC) 6 – The Alliance for the Advancement of Science Through Astronomy (AASTA) 7 – Bear Fight Center (BFC) 8 – Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) 9 – Pacific Science Center (PSC) 10 – Planetary Resource, Inc. (PRI) AAST A

Proposed Research The research goal of CARI will be to characterize the properties of observed NEAs and generate a comparative analysis between different NEAs and between NEAs and the Moon.

Characterization will occur in six Focus Areas: Focus Area 1 – Characterizing the Regolith via IR Measurements Focus Area 2 – Thermophysical Properties and Volatile Content Focus Area 3 – Characterizing Surface Hyroxylation Focus Area 4 – Understanding the Effects of Space Weathering Focus Area 5 – Sample Return Technology Development Focus Area 6 – Physical Measurements of NEAs

Focus Area 6: Physical Measurements of NEAs (using asteroid occultation and light curve measurements) 1. Precise measurement of size and shape of NEAs by occultations of stars. Multi-chord observations during the same event or multi-chord observations obtained through multiple events. 2. Precision photometry of NEAs to determine spin rate, size and shape using one or more of the following shape models : Interactive Service for Asteroid Models (ISAM) Database of Asteroid Models from Inversion Techniques (DAMIT) Miriade (The Virtual Observatory Solar System Object Ephemeris Generator) 3. Precision astrometry for the improvement of star positions and NEA orbital elements for improved predictions of occultations prior to events.

Equipment 1. Columbia Basin College Robert and Elizabeth Moore Observatory. 2. Pacific Northwest Regional Observatory (PNWRO). 3. High speed/high sensitivity CCD and CCD Video cameras

5-Year Duration Grant award to be decided in November 2013 If successful, I would be one of the principle investigators on Focus Area 6
