Descripción
Asteroid (2579) Spartacus is a small V-type object located in the inner main belt (the main delivery region for meteorites). It shows spectral characteristics different from typical values for Vestoids, which may indicate origin deeper within Vesta then other V-types or a different parent body. We determine physical and dynamical properties of (2579) Spartacus and discuss its possible origin scenarios.
