Testing space weathering models on A-type asteroid (1951) Lick
A-type asteroid (1951) Lick has a very red visible and near-infrared reflectance spectrum, and it is one of the reddest Near-Earth objects. Its surface is probably affected by heavy space weathering processes. We investigate the possibility of a weathering saturation regime. We compare Lick's spectrum with those of silicate olivine after laser
