Thermal and Optical Characterization of Near-Earth Objects: Science Commissioning of the Recently Upgraded Mid-infrared Camera MIRSI on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility

Mid-infrared (mid-IR) observations of near-Earth objects (NEOs) have historically been a valuable tool for understanding their physical properties. However, the current state of mid-IR instruments on ground-based telescopes places several limitations on performing thermal characterization of NEOs. T...
