Abstract
⺠We obtained a total of 165 spectra in the overall range 0.25-5.1 μm. ⺠We find that the NIR spectrum of Lutetia on its northern hemisphere is essentially flat and grey. ⺠We find a marked spectral homogeneity throughout two rotational periods. ⺠We confirm the absence of OH features at 1.9, 2.7, and 3 μm within the sensitivity of VIRTIS. ⺠We conclude that the northern hemisphere of Lutetia is not linked to the most primitive meteorites.
