| dc.description.abstract | We discovered well in advance that (101955) Bennu, the target of the OSIRIS-REx space mission, had polarimetric properties that could make this object a candidate to be a comet, or a borderline object between asteroids and comets. The first results of the in situ exploration by OSIRIS-Rex fully confirm our expectations. This is a great achievement, and demonstrates that linear polarisation measurements of small bodies are a powerful tool to infer the physical properties of these bodies and to identify possible cometary characteristics. | |
