Abstract
⺠We studied thermal evolution of C-type NEOs with perihelia close to the Sun. ⺠Radiative heating can heat carbonaceous meteoroids at temperatures up to 1050 K. ⺠NEOs can be heated at metamorphic temperatures for thousands of years. ⺠Our results are consistent with CK metamorphic temperatures and durations. ⺠Radiative heating can be a secondary process affecting small fragments of asteroids.
