Detection of Hydration on Nominally Anhydrous S-complex Main Belt Asteroids

We present the results of a survey of nominally anhydrous main belt S-complex asteroids. Thirty-three observations of 29 unique asteroids were obtained using the IRTF+SpeX instrument in prism and LXD short modes. We report for the first time that S-complex main belt asteroids have 3 μ m features. Th...
