1 Is there a magnetic field on asteroid (4) Vesta? by Benoît Carry 1,2 in collaboration with: P. Vernazza (ESA/ESTEC), C. Dumas (ESO) & M. Fulchignoni (Obs. Paris) 1 European Southern Observatory 2 LESIA,Observatoire de Paris
2 Outline 1. Why is (4) Vesta a highly interesting body? 2. Observations with SINFONI 3. Mineralogy analysis 4. Distribution of spectral slope 5. Magnetic field?
3 Asteroid (4) Vesta Second largest asteroid Large crater at south pole Parent body of Vestoids McFadden et al. (2008)
4 Asteroid (4) Vesta Second largest asteroid Large crater at south pole Parent body of Vestoids Composition Mostly similar to HED meteorites Unweathered??? Vernazza et al. (2006)
5 Asteroid (4) Vesta Second largest asteroid Large crater at south pole Parent body of Vestoids Binzel et al. (1997) Composition Mostly similar to HED meteorites Unweathered??? Albedo Strong variations Lava flow? Composition? Space weathering?

28 Observing limitations 1. Spectral range Slope: J= µm Mineral: H+K= µm Limited to pyroxexes Other compounds?
29 Observing limitations 1. Spectral range Slope: J= µm Mineral: H+K= µm Limited to pyroxexes Other compounds? 2. Spatial resolution Θ 90 km Largest swirl on Moon: RGF = 100 km Fine structure unobservable

31 Conclusions Fist disk-resolved spectroscopy of an asteroid ever! Spatial resolution is the key Deconvolution algorithm? Magnetic field scenario Explain both albedo and spectral slope Suggested by current data Require more observations NASA Dawn mission Arrival 2011 No magnetometer Spatial resolution 100 m Spectral range 1-5 µm
