Difference in Degree of Space Weathering on the Newborn Asteroid Karin
Abstract
Here we report a near-infrared spectroscopy of the newborn asteroid Karin. For different rotational phases, we derived different spectra such as reddened spectrum like that of S- type asteroid and un-reddened spectrum like that of ordinary chondrite.
