The Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2007 PA8: a fresh L chondrite analogue
Abstract
We present in this work the results on the polarimetric and spectroscopic observations of the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) 2007 PA8 obtained during its favourable apparition of October-November 2012, when it approached the Earth at the minimal distance of 0.043 AU. Our data allow to constrain the surface composition of this PHA, to obtain the first estimation of its albedo and to determine its size.
