Abstract
We report the results of broadband visual and infrared photometry of the Apollo-Amor asteroid 1943 Anteros during its 1980 apparition. By means of a radiometric model, we calculate a diameter of 2.3 ± 0.2 km and a visual geometric albedo of 0.13 ± 0.03. The albedo and reflectance spectrum of Anteros imply that it is a type S asteroid. Thus, Anteros may have a silicate surface similar to other Apollo-Amor asteroids as well as some stony-iron meteorites.
