Spectra of (55638) 2002 VE₉₅ in the near-infrared and the relative spectral variations. Dashed lines represent the error bars, computed as the standard deviation in each wavelength range (i.e. corresponding to the H and K spectroscopic wavelength range). All spectra are normalized at 1.65 microns. Part A: comparison of the spectra obtained in the near-infrared range between October 2003 (in the top panel as a dashed line) and December 2007 (in the top panel as a continuous line). On the bottom part, shifted by  −0.6 unit, the result of the division of the two spectra does not show obvious spectral variations and the slope variation is almost 0 from the linear fit (in continuous line from end to end of the spectral range). Part B: comparison of the spectra obtained in the near infrared range between October 2003 (in the top panel as a dashed line) and November 2008 (in the top panel as a continuous line). In the bottom part, shifted by  −0.6 unit, the result of the division of the two spectra shows small variations near 1.5 and 2.05 microns but the slope variation is still very close to 0 from the linear fit.
