Abstract
⺠Observations of the double system (90) Antiope using SPIFFI, an integral field unit at VLT/ESO. ⺠Photometric extraction algorithm and data error estimate to derive a NIR spectrum of each body. ⺠No significant absorption features and slopes of the NIR spectra similar to C- or Cb-type asteroids. ⺠Constant flux ratio indicates that both components are similar, within a 1-sigma variation of 7%. ⺠Both components were most likely formed at the same time and from the same material.
