Abstract
⺠We show how mid-IR emission spectra of asteroids can constrain their surface composition and structure. ⺠We demonstrate that a large fraction of the large main belt asteroids possess a highly porous surface. ⺠A new laboratory sample preparation method allows us to constrain their surface composition.
