Scientific paper

The spectra of Vesta, obtained with a high resolution in the visible range, were analyzed together with the light curves of this asteroid in an attempt to study the mineral inhomogeneity of the Vesta surface. Vesta's spectra do not coincide completely with those of basalt achondrites in the 0.50-0.55 micron region. The spectrum of one of Vesta's hemispheres does not have direct analogs among the spectra of achondrites and common chondrites. An observational test for the search for diogenite material on the Vesta surface is discussed.
