Reddy Vesta Rotationally-Resolved Near-IR Spectra Bundle V1.0

This data set contains low-resolution near-infrared (~0.7-2.5 microns) spectra of main belt asteroid (4) Vesta observed with the SpeX instrument on NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) on Mauna Kea, Hawai'i, and reported in Reddy et al. (2011). This data set archives reduced, calibrated spectra that were obtained as part of ground-based characterization of Vesta prior to the arrival of Dawn spacecraft. They have been used for detailed rotationally-resolved mineralogical/compositional analysis.

本数据集涵盖主带小行星（4）维斯塔（Vesta）的低分辨率近红外（~0.7-2.5微米）光谱，这些光谱由位于夏威夷莫纳克亚山的美国国家航空航天局（NASA）红外望远镜设施（IRTF）上的SpeX仪器观测获得，并已发表于Reddy等人（2011）的研究成果中。本数据集归档了经约简与定标处理后的光谱数据，这些数据是黎明号探测器（Dawn）抵达前，针对维斯塔开展地面表征工作所获取的一部分内容。该光谱数据集已被用于精细化的旋转分辨矿物学与组成分析。
