SOCCA extends HG1G2 by modeling the projected surface of a rotating triaxial ellipsoid to jointly retrieve absolute magnitude, phase parameters, spin state, and shape from sparse multi-band photometry, halving residuals and tripling precision on LSST simulations and Eugenia data.

abstract
Automated asteroid detection routines set requirements on the number of detections, signal-to-noise ratio, and the linearity of the expected motion in order to balance completeness, reliability, and time delay after data acquisition when identifying moving object tracklets. However, when the full-frame data from a survey are archived, they can be searched later for asteroids that were below the initial detection thresholds. We have conducted such a search of the first three years of the reactivated NEOWISE data, looking for near-Earth objects discovered by ground-based surveys that have previously unreported thermal infrared data. Using these measurements, we can then perform thermal modeling to measure the diameters and albedos of these objects. We present new physical properties for 116 Near-Earth Objects found in this search.
