Abstract

Preliminary analysis of infrared reflectance spectra obtained of asteroid 1998 ST27 indicates the presence of a weak 1-micron band consistent with mafic silicates. Further analysis of these data will be presented which should constrain its composition. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
