- The OSIRIS-REx Laser Altimeter (OLA) Investigation and Instrument (2017, background): “At approximately 500 m in average diameter (Nolan et al. 2013), Bennu is large enough to retain substantial regolith and as an Apollo asteroid with a low inclination (6◦), Bennu is the most accessible primitive near-Earth asteroid (Lauretta et al.”
- OCAMS: The OSIRIS-REx Camera Suite (2017, methodology): “Step by step, the OSIRIS-REx science team will determine the shape of the body, and develop safety-, deliverability-, sampleability-, and science-value maps (Nolan et al. 2013; Lauretta et al. 2018).”
- The OSIRIS‐REx target asteroid (101955) Bennu: Constraints on its physical, geological, and dynamical nature from astronomical observations (2015, methodology): “Using the relationship 2.5 log pV = 15.62 5 log D H, where H is the absolute magnitude (from Hergenrother et al. 2013) and D the asteroid size (from Nolan et al. 2013), constrains pV to 4.5 0.5%.”
- Rubble Pile Asteroids (2018, methodology): “Itokawa was observed in both 3.5 and 12.6cm wavelength radar, finding higher polarization at 3.5 than at 12.6cm, suggesting a changing surface texture at size scales between these two values (Ostro et al. 2004, Nolan et al. 2013).”
- OSIRIS-REx: Sample Return from Asteroid (101955) Bennu (2017, methodology): “Ground-based radar has been used to characterize its shape, spin state, and surface roughness (Figure 6) (Nolan et al. 2013).”
- Properties of rubble-pile asteroid (101955) Bennu from OSIRIS-REx imaging and thermal analysis (2019, methodology): “The shapes of Bennu derived from radar observations[20] and from stereophotoclinometry applied to images of Bennu from OSIRIS-REx are compared at the top of the image.”
