Scientific paper

Infrared thermal emission measurements are reported of 1862 Apollo, which is the type example of an earth-crossing asteroid. A geometric albedo of 0.21 plus or minus 0.02 is derived which is within the albedo range of the S class of asteroids. The effective diameter was observed to vary with rotation from 1.2 plus or minus 0.1 to 1.5 plus or minus 0.1 km.
