Scientific paper
The mineralogical composition of asteroid Eros has been determined from
its infrared spectrum (0.9-2.7 micrometers; 28/cm resolution). Major
minerals include metallic Ni-Fe and pyroxene; no spectroscopic evidence
for olivine or plagioclase feldspar was found. The IR spectrum of Eros
is most consistent with a stony-iron composition.
