SUMMARY:Near-Infrared colors of minor planets recovered from VISTA - VHS su
 rvey
DESCRIPTION:Near-Infrared colors of minor planets recovered from VISTA - VH
 S survey\nDr. Marcel Popescu\n\nMore than 600 000 small objects of the Sol
 ar System (SoSS) are currently known. The physical characterization exists
  only for a small fraction of them. Their understanding is important both 
 for scientific and practical point of view: SoSS can offer important clues
  regarding the origins and the evolution of the Solar System, and they are
  the key objects for the development of the Solar System exploration.\nI w
 ill present the near-infrared spectrophotometric data of more than 35 000 
  SoSS imaged by VISTA-survey. First, the pipeline used for obtaining the o
 bservations from the survey catalogs will be described.  Second, the stati
 stics derived from the resulted measurements and their impact in the compo
 sitional map of SoSS is shown.\nAdditional techniques were employed over t
 his large set of values, such as comparing color variation with the taxono
 mic classification and combining the near infrared spectrophotometric data
  with complementary measurements (albedo, spectral data). The results sign
 ificantly improve the image of the physical properties of  SoSS.
