Rotationally resolved spectroscopy of asteroid pairs: No spectral variation suggests fission is followed by settling of dust
The fission of an asteroid due to fast rotation can expose sub-surface material that was never previously exposed to any space weathering process. We examine the spectral properties of asteroid pairs that were disrupted in the last 2 million years to examine whether the site of the fission can be re...
