Descripción
An unexpected dust cloud was identified around asteroid 596 Scheila on early December 2010 [1]. Our team has been monitoring its photometric behavior in order to get clues on the nature of the outburst, and the obtained results support that the dust cloud was generated by an impact as recently suggested [2].
