Latitude Dependence of Spectral Properties on Bennu: Relevance to Space Weathering
Abstract
Spectral reddening, a decrease in 1064-nm normal albedo, and a 9% decrease in H content are observed on the equator of organic-rich Bennu. Space weathering, in the form of carbonization of organics, could neatly unify and explain these observations.
