Scientific paper

The Adler V-Type Asteroid (AVAST) Survey is a program of visible-to-near-infrared spectroscopy of candidate basaltic asteroids in the visible to infraredwavelengths (0.4 - 2.5 μm) with the ARC 3.5-m telescope at the Apache Point Observatory. Our targets are selected on the basis of their low (i - z) values from observations by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. To date we have observed 78 asteroids with basalt-like absorption features (0.9 and 2.0 μm), 11 of which have full (0.4 - 2.5 μm) coverage. Of particular interest is our observation of 7 beyond the 3:1 mean motion resonance with Jupiter that have spectra consistent with V-type asteroids.
