Polarimetry is a very useful tool for asteroid studies because it makes it possible to get information on some important physical parameters, like geometric albedo, which are intimately related to surface composition and regolith structure. In recent years there has been a strongly renewed interest in the field of asteroid polarimetry, due to...

Although it cannot provide direct and unambiguous information on the mineralogical composition of an asteroid surface, polarimetry is a very useful tool to get an improved understanding of parameters which are intimately related to surface composition and regolith structure. In recent times there has been a revival in the field of asteroid...
