Scientific paper

We report rotationally resolved spectra of six S-type asteroids obtained at ESO in the wavelength range 4900-9200 Å. The sample was chosen to span most of the sub-classes defined by M. Gaffey et al. (1993, Icarus 106, 573-602). Three other asteroids of different taxonomic class were also analyzed in order to compare the variations observed among the S-type asteroids. Only two of the S-types belonging to sub-classes mineralogicaly distinct presented significant variations, as well as the P-type asteroid present in our sample. All the other asteroids have variations of the order of the noise of the spectrum and were not considered as significant.
