Visible spectra of 2008 EV5, acquired with the FORS2 instrument at the ESO-VLT. Spectra are normalized at 0.55 μm and shifted by 1.5 in reflectance for clarity. The mid-exposure time is reported for each spectrum, together with the corresponding rotational phase (P_rot = 3.725 ± 0.001 h). We remind the reader of the low S/N of these data (see Sect. 3.1): the spectra presented here are flat within the limits of noise.
