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