Figure 7.4: a) The visible and the averaged NIR spectrum of(1333) Cevenola; b) A polynomial fit for the V+NIR<br />

spectrum of (1333) Cevenola compared with the theoretical spectra of Sq, Q and K taxonomic types; c) the<br />

comparison between the spectrum of (1333) Cevenola and the spectrum of a sample from Saratov meteorite; d)<br />

the comparison between the spectrum of (1333) Cevenola and the spectrum of a sample from Hamlet#1 meteorite.<br />

ering model proposed by Brunetto et al. [2006]. Thus, fitting the spectrum with an exponential<br />

continuum I found C s = -0.133 µm, corresponding to a relatively fresh surface. The C s value<br />

gives the number of displacements per cm 2 , d = 0.45×10 19 displacements/cm 2 .<br />

Comparing the original spectrum of (1333) Cevenola with all laboratory spectra from Relab,<br />

M4AST found matches with ordinary chondrite meteorites (L and LL subtypes, and petrologic<br />

classes 4 and 5). In terms of standard deviation and correlation coefficient, the best matches<br />

where those of samples from Saratov, Hamlet #1 (Fig. 7.4) and Paranaiba. These meteorites<br />

are ordinary chondrites with low iron content.<br />

I compared also the de-reddened spectrum of (1333) Cevenola to laboratory spectra from<br />

Relab. In this case, the four methods used give relatively different solutions. The spectral<br />

solutions that can be selected are the spectrum of a sample from Denver meteorite and the<br />

spectrum of a sample from Hamlet #1 meteorite. Both meteorites are ordinary chondrites with<br />

low iron content.
