Diversity and similarity of linear polarization among low-albedo NEAs: extremely high polarization of NEA 25330 (1999 KV4)
This study explores the diversity and similarity of linear polarization among low-albedo Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs), focusing on the exceptionally high polarization of NEA 25330 (1999 KV4). Polarimetric observations are essential for understanding the physical properties of NEAs, providing insights into the nature of scattering particles and ambient physical processes that cannot be achieved using other observational methods.
