Scientific paper

Long wavelength IUE primary spectrograph spectra from October 6-7, 1990 have yielded the resolved UV lightcurve of asteroid 4 Vesta; the IUE's Fine Error Sensor simultaneously obtained Vesta's near-B lightcurve, which indicates a rotation period of about 5 hrs and thereby implies the observations to have covered three consecutive revolutions of the asteroid about its axis. These observations are compared with existing data to develop a self-consistent view of the surface properties of Vesta. No large-scale-and-amplitude absorptions exist in the 0.2-2.5 range, but small-amplitude colored features are observed at all phases.
