Scientific paper

Precise flux density measurements made with the Very Large Array (VLA) of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory will be used to define the microwave continuum spectra of asteroids. These spectra will be inverted in order to estimate the near-surface bulk properties (radii, roughness, composition) independent of previous optical or infrared spectroscopy. The results for 2 Pallas, 4 Vesta and 10 Hygeia will be submitted for publication. The review chapter will be published and the results on Asteroid photometeric diameters will be published.
