Rotational Variability of Asteroid 490 Veritas in the Near-Infrared.
We present rotationally resolved spectra of asteroid 490 Veritas in the near-infrared (NIR) that show interesting differences. Dynamical arguments indicate that 490 Veritas is the main fragment of a recent (8.3 My) asteroidal break-up. We obtained NIR spectra (0.8-2.4 microns) on UT May 11, 2008, using the SpeX instrument on NASA's Infrared
