A-type asteroids are usually found in the main asteroid belt and their spectra are very similar to spectra of the silicate mineral olivine (Cruikshank and Hartmann 1984). The existence of olivine-rich asteroids is a result of differentiation, those being the pieces of the mantle of a larger parent body. Extraterrestrial sources of such material must exist because we have meteorites that are nearly pure olivine (dunites). There is a limited number of observed asteroids classified as A-type, all of them belonging to the Main Belt and the study of such objects is crucial to better understand their origin and formation and their relation with dunites. We have obtained visible and near infrared reflectance spectra of asteroid (1951) Lick using the telescopes located at Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (Canary Islands, Spain). According to its spectral characteristics in the visible region, this object has been classified as an A-type asteroid by Bus and Binzel (2002). Although considered an Amor object by several authors, according to its orbital parameters (a = 1.390 AU, e = 0.061, i = 39.093 deg, q = 1.304) this object is just in the limit that separates Amors from Mars Crossers (q = 1.3). Whether it is classified as an Amor or a Mars Crosser, (1951) Lick is the first object with such orbital characteristics classified as an A-type asteroid. Here we present a mineralogical analysis of the reflectance spectra obtained for (1951) Lick. We calculate several parameters that are extracted from the spectrum of the asteroid and that give relevant information about its mineralogical composition, using the method defined by Gaffey et al. (1993). We also present results obtained by a preliminary fit to the absorption band associated to the presence of the olivine mineral using the Modified Gaussian Model method (MGM) developed by Sunshine et al.(1990).
