Asteroid (101955) 1999 RQ36: Spectroscopy from 0.4 to 2.4 μm and meteorite analogs

► We present reflectance spectra from 0.4 to 2.4 microns of asteroid (101955) 1999 RQ36. ► RQ36 is the target of the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft mission. ► We performed parametric tests and a least-squares search through RELAB meteorite data. ► Results show that CI and/or CM meteorites are the most likely meteorite analogs for RQ36. ► We also compare RQ36 with other known B-type asteroids measured by Clark et al. (2010).
