The Increasingly Strange Polarimetric Behavior of the Barbarian Asteroids

The Increasingly Strange Polarimetric Behavior of the Barbarian Asteroids

Polarization phase-curve measurements provide a unique constraint on the surface properties of asteroids that are complementary to those from photometry and spectroscopy and have led to the identification of the “Barbarian” asteroids as a class of objects with highly unusual surfaces. We present new...
