Phase reddening on asteroid Bennu from visible and near-infrared spectroscopy

S. Fornasier, P. H. Hasselmann, J. D. P Deshapriya +10

The NASA mission OSIRIS-REx has been observing near-Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu in close proximity since December 2018. In this work, we investigate spectral phase reddening -- t…

Spectroscopic survey of M--type asteroids

S. Fornasier, B. E. Clark, E. Dotto +3

M-type asteroids, as defined in the Tholen taxonomy (Tholen, 1984), are medium albedo bodies supposed to have a metallic composition and to be the progenitors both of differentiate…
