Scientific paper

Telescopic observations have recently revealed the existence of a new
class of asteroids whose surfaces show the spectral signature of
abundant olivine. The mineralogy of a well-observed example (446
Aeternitas) is discussed and the implications for the origins of the
olivine-rich meteorites and the thermal evolution of asteroids outlined.
