Comparison of spectral features of asteroids and meteorites in the visible and near-infrared regions. 1998 KU₂ (solid lines) is compared with (a) other F-type near-Earth asteroids, Phaethon and Wilson-Harrington, (b)–(c) the heated Murchison meteorites at 900 ^° C or 1000 ^° C (the pluses and crosses indicate a grain size of <0.63 μm and a grain size range of 63–125 μm, respectively), (d) the Almahata Sitta meteorite (triangle). Asteroid and meteorite spectra were taken from SMASS³, Ishiguro et al. (2011) and RELAB⁴, M4AST⁵ (Popescu et al. 2012) was used as the matching tool.
