Scientific paper

We present the study of a collection of spectra of Iapetus obtained with VIMS, the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer on board of Cassini spacecraft. The data evaluated (about 1.3x10^4 spectra from 0.35 to 5.1 micron) were obtained during the second flyby of Iapetus, in September 2007. We apply statistical clustering to address the surface composition of Iapetus. We identify 7 statistically distinct units on Iapetus' surface and compare the main characteristics of their representative spectra (centroids).
