The Fastest Rotators: Near-Earth Asteroids Observed with the Arecibo Planetary Radar System

The Fastest Rotators: Near-Earth Asteroids Observed with the Arecibo Planetary Radar System

Fast-rotating asteroids (FRAs) are considered to be small bodies having a rotation period (P) faster than the spin barrier of about 2.3 h, starting at diameters of less than 300 m. We selected the 20 fastest Arecibo radar-observed targets, with P
