The compositional diversity of non-Vesta basaltic asteroids

The compositional diversity of non-Vesta basaltic asteroids

We present near-infrared (0.78-2.45 µm) reflectance spectra for nine middle and outer main belt (a > 2.5 AU) basaltic asteroids. Three of these objects are spectrally distinct from all classifications in the Bus-DeMeo system and could represent spectral end members in the existing taxonomy or be...
