Rotation, spectral type, and albedo of the potentially hazardous asteroid (153814) 2001 WN$_{\text 5}$ Prior to the 2028 June close approach
The potentially hazardous asteroid (153814) 2001 WN$_5$ will pass inside the lunar distance on June 26, 2028, offering a rare opportunity to characterize a kilometer-scale near-Earth asteroid at high angular resolution. We aim to constrain the rotation state, shape, visible colors, geometric albedo, and taxonomy of 2001 WN$_5$ before its 2028 close approach. We combined new photometry from the 1.54 m Danish Telescope (DK154) with archival and survey observations from the Transiting Exoplanet Sur…
