Scientific paper

We report taxonomic classifications of four near-Earth asteroids (1999 AP10, 2000 TO64, 2000 UJ1, and 2000 XK44) scheduled for radar observation by the JPL radar group at the Arecibo facility in Oct-Nov 2009, using long-slit CCD spectroscopy acquired at the Palomar 5-m telescope on 2009 Nov 09 UT. Table 1 lists the observation circumstances. Normalized reflectance spectra are shown in Figures 1-4 [1]
