Descripción
We present reflectance spectra of 19 V-type asteroids obtained at the
3.6 m Telescopio Nazionale Galileo covering 0.8 to 2.5 μm. For 8 of
these asteroids we obtained also visible spectra in the same
observational run. The range from 0.8 to 2.5 μm, encompassing the 1
and 2 μm pyroxene features, allows a precise mineralogical
characterization of these asteroids. The obtained data suggests the
possible coexistence of distinct mineralogical groups among the V-type
asteroids, either probing different layers of (4) Vesta or coming from
different bodies. No clear correlation was found between mineralogies
and the objects being, or not, member of the Vesta dynamical family.
