Description
We describe an ongoing program dedicated to the observation and physical characterization of Near Earth Objects (NEOs) using night facilities of Observatorio del Teide (Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias, Tenerife, Spain). We are observing NEOs with the aim of doing recovery and follow-up astrometry, of studying their rotational properties using time series CCD images, and of studying their surface properties by doing simultaneous B, V, R, I, J, H, K photometry.
