Spectral and spin measurement of two small and fast-rotating near-Earth asteroids

In May 2012 two asteroids made near-miss "grazing" passes at distances of a few Earth-radii: 2012 KP24 passed at 9 Earth-radii and 2012 KT42 at only 3 Earth-radii. The latter passed inside the orbital distance of geosynchronous satellites. From spectral and imaging measurements using NASA&...
