Here we show results from thermal-infrared observations of km-sized binary Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs). We combine previously published thermal properties for NEAs with newly derived values for three binary NEAs. The ηvalue derived from the Near-Earth Asteroid Thermal Model (NEATM) for each object is then used to estimate an average thermal...
