Probing asteroid composition using visible and near-infrared spectroscopy.
The compositional distribution of asteroids provides clues to understanding solar system formation and evolutionary processes in the asteroid belt. The surface mineralogy and distribution of volatiles on asteroids is determined using visible and near-infrared spectroscopy. A revised asteroid taxonom...
