Physics

Scientific paper

We have obtained Near-infrared (0.7-2.5 μm) spectra of two V-type near-Earth asteroids. The pyroxene mineralogy for each asteroid was calculated using the formulas derived by [1]. We found that the molar contents of ferroslite (Fs) and wollastonite (Wo) for these asteroids are consistent with howardite meteorites or polymict eucrites, suggesting that these objects are formed by mixed ejecta.
