Abstract

We present a radiometric observation of asteroid 1976 AA, and formulate a simple model for the infrared thermal phase function so that our data can be compared with similar measurements made at different phase angles. The radiometric diameter of 1976 AA from our observation is 940⁺²⁰⁰_-100 meters and the geometric albedo is 0.18 ± 0.06, in satisfactory agreement with another published radiometric observation.
