Abstract

We propose a data-driven method for investigating taxonomy relations between asteroids and meteorite. The method clusters data of reflectance spectra of asteroids with the guidance of relatively reliable taxonomy of meteorites. By comparing the clustering accuracy of asteroid between with and without guidance, we observe that the guidance of meteorites taxonomy improve the accuracy. This serves as an evidence that there is a common taxonomical structure between meteorites and asteroids, confirming a long-standing prediction.
