Title:	Albedos of asteroids and asteroid families from WISE/NEOWISE and optical data
Topic:	Synergy with other surveys
Abstract:	I will discuss the interface between infrared data from WISE/NEOWISE and ground-based optical data, which allows us to calculate the optical reflectivity, or albedo, for over 130,000 asteroids in the Main Belt. Using this new dataset, we identify the characteristic albedos for over 75 asteroid collisional families, allowing us to make a first-order estimate of their composition. I will discuss the potential pitfalls of this technique, and describe the improvements we expect to see from future surveys.
