N = 327 (327/782 = 41.8% of all radar-detected NEAs)

NEAs with H >= 22.0: 265/782 = 0.339


Percentage of small radar-detected NEAs that are binaries: 3/327 = 1.0%

Note: NEA satellites < 200 m in diameter are not included.

NA = visible range extent is not available (was not measured).

* = 3-D shape model diameter was used (1998 KY26 only).

Diameters are listed assuming C-type (0.05) and S-type (0.20) optical geometric albedos,
except for 1998 K26, for which a 3-D shape model is available. 

In the rotation period estimates, if rotation periods have not been reported in
the peer-reviewed literature or in personal communications, in most cases 
an optical albedo of 0.05 was assumed and was used to estimate an upper bound 
on the diameter.  That upper bound and the bandwidth were used to estimate 
upper bounds on the rotation periods.  With 1999 NW2, M. Hicks (pers. comm.) 
obtained photometric colors indicating an SQ-type composition, so an optical 
albedo of 0.2 was assumed to estimate the diameter and to constrain the 
rotation period.

The upper bound on the rotation period of 2000 YA from radar observations is
consistent with the periods estimated from photometry by P. Pravec.  Pravec's
period is ambiguous by a factor of two (1.3 h or 0.65 h).

2000 EW70 is included because it has H > 21.0 even though it has a visible range 
extent of about 180 meters.
