New near-infrared reflectance spectra of putative Vtype asteroids located in the outer asteroid belt have been obtained at the 3.6 m Telescopio Nazionale Galileo covering the spectral range 0.7 to 2.5 μm. The majority of basaltic asteroids are found in the inner main belt, although a few have also been observed in the outer main belt. All of these distant asteroids may be basaltic bodies having no connection to (4) Vesta not only due to their dynamical characteristics but also to their spectra and derived mineralogies ([1],[2],[3],[4]). Therefore, it is important to understand if also other V-type candidates located in the outer belt show distinct mineralogy with respect to (4) Vesta and its family members. The discovery and analysis of basaltic asteroids independent of Vesta can provide insights into the early history of solar system formation.
