A search for near-infrared spectral signatures of bright boulders on OSIRIS-REx target asteroid (101955) Bennu
Abstract
While most brighter rocks on Bennu are smaller than the footprint size of the spectrometer's FOV, by comparing and calculating the ratios with nearby spots, we can mathematically determine the bright boulder contribution to the overall spectral behavior of Bennu. Are the bright rocks spectrally different than the darker boulders and average Bennu?
