Descripción
The low-inclination (i < 8∘) primitive asteroid
families in the inner main belt, that is, Polana-Eulalia, Erigone,
Sulamitis, and Clarissa, are considered to be the most likely sources of
near-Earth asteroids (101955) Bennu and (162173) Ryugu. These two
primitive NEAs will be visited by NASA OSIRIS-REx and JAXA Hayabusa 2
missions, respectively, with the aim of collecting samples of material
from their surfaces and returning them back to Earth. In this context,
the PRIMitive Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey (PRIMASS) was born, with the
main aim to characterize the possible origins of these NEAs and
constrain their dynamical evolution. As part of the PRIMASS survey we
have already studied the Polana and Erigone collisional families in
previously published works. The main goal of the work presented here is
to compositionally characterize the Sulamitis and Clarissa families
using visible spectroscopy. We have observed 97 asteroids (64 from
Sulamitis and 33 from Clarissa) with the OSIRIS instrument (0.5-0.9
μm) at the 10.4 m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC). We found that about
60% of the sampled asteroids from the Sulamitis family show signs of
aqueous alteration on their surfaces. We also found that the majority of
the Clarissa members present no signs of hydration. The results obtained
here show similarities between Sulamitis-Erigone and Clarissa-Polana
collisional families.
