  10. Presence of 3 micron band (Rivkin et al. 2011, Icarus, 216,62 ) (Birlanet al., 2006, A&A, 454, 677) Birlan et al. 2006 and Rivkin et al. (2000) observed the 3 micron band diagnostic of water of hydratation; new data of Birlan et al. 2010 do not confirm this detection (different observed area), new data by Rivkin et al. 2011 confirm the band.

  11. 21 LUTETIA: Emissivity - SPITZER CV meteorite CO3 carb. chondrite Iron meteorite … 20-50 micron ___0-20 micron • The Lutetia emissivity spectrum is completely different from that of the iron meteorites • Low thermal inertia: I ≤ 30 JK−1 m−2 s−1/2 , typical of main belt asteroids; Lutetia is likely covered by a thick regolith layer • Lutetia is similar to CV3 and CO3 carbonaceous chondrites, meteorites which experienced some aqueous alteration ___0-20 micron --- 50-100 micron CV3 carb. chondrite ___100-150 micron --- >150 micron. Enstatite chondrites C peak at 8.3 µm (Izawa et al. 2010) (Barucci et al., 2008)

  16. Lutetiadensity(Patzold et al. 2011) 3.40± 0.3 g/cm3(Weiss et al. 2011) (Weiss et al. 2012) • apparent high density (exceeds that of most known chondrite meteorites) • surface similar to chondrite + metallic core

  17. Kaidun meteorite 8-µm particle from comet 81P/Wild 2. sulphide pyrrhotite, enstatite grain and fine-grained porous aggregate material with chondriticcomposition (Brownlee e al. 2006) This Kaidun meteorite (Yemen in 1980) is a mixture of “incompatible “ materials: principal carbonaceous chondrites (CV, CI, CM, CR) and estatite chondrites (EH and EL) and other peculiar materials. Therefore, in a single particle, materials which formed in different regions in a protoplanetary disk can co-exist, which was not expected.

  18. Summary (21 Lutetia) • Lutetia exposes fascinating morphology with many craters, grooves, ridges, graben, scarps etc. • Old and young regions (10Ma-3.6Ga) • Surface with small grain size • Blanket in North Pole region suggests a thick layer of regolith/ejecta • Color variations • Different from any other asteroid visited so far • Different from any meteorite? (surface more similar to chondrite) • High density (exceeds that of most known chondrite meteorites) • The surface seems a mixture of different types of materials: • carbonaceous chondrite (for the majority) and enstatitechondrite (in minor percentage) • Lutetia is an old object (with a surface age of 3.5 Gy) with a primitive chondrite crust and a possible partial differentiation (Weiss et al. 2012) with a metallic core

  24. ALICE (Stern et al. 2011, AJ, 141, 199) A tentative model fitting the Lutetia’s albedo : 77% EH5 chondrite and 7.7% each of anorthite, H2O frost and SO2 frost.

  25. DEPENDENCE ON GRAIN SIZE: CARBONACEOUS CHONDRITES Absolute reflectivity vs grains size • a strong dependence on grain sizes: albedo tends to increase when particle size decreases; • grain size of components of different hardness is not well-controlled when meteorite is crushed; • albedo of particular types of carbonaceous chondrites is well-consistent with Lutetia’s albedo (0.13 at α=5°)

  26. Albedo variation up to 30% Baetica Achaia (Sierks et al., 2011, Science 334, 487)

  29. Vernazza et al. (2011) similarity to estatite chondrite two major problems on theiranalysis: - they look onlyat one spectrum (V+NIR taken by the ground) - to interpret the spectrum of Spitzer (FIR), theyused an ad hoc comparison (KBr-diluted) withdifferent grain of EC • Vernazza et al.
