Near-IR spectra obtained using the NASA IRTF telescope, on the nights of July 7, 2008 (top panels) (SMASS: see Table 4 for reference) and August 27, 2008 (bottom panels) (Popescu et al. 2011). The panels on the left are normalised at the wavelengths used in the original publications: 5500 Å for the SMASS spectrum and 12 500 Å for the Popescu et al. spectrum. The plots on the right have been re-normalised at 10 000 Å for consistency and easier comparison with spectra from Fig. 10. These spectra correspond to IDs “3” and “4” in Table 4. Each spectrum was centred at near 0° latitude, but at near opposite ends of the asteroid in terms of longitude or rotation phase (also see Fig. 12). The spectra have very different properties, perhaps indicating compositional differences across the asteroid near the equatorial region. This observation holds regardless of where the spectra are normalised.
