摘要
As part of our multi-observatory, multi-filter campaign, we present rmi color observations of 82 Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) obtained with the RATIR instrument on the 1.5m robotic telescope at the San Pedro Martiru0027s National Observatory in Mexico. Our project is particularly focused on rapid response observations of small ($lesssim 850$ m) NEOs. The rapid response and the use of spectrophotometry allows us to constrain the taxonomic classification of NEOs with high efficiency. Here we present the methodology of our observations and our result, suggesting that the ratio of C-type to S-type asteroids in a size range of $sim$30-850m is 1.1, which is in accordance with our previous results. We also find that 10$%$ of all NEOs in our sample are neither C- nor S-type asteroids
