<P>We conducted a polarimetric observation of the fast-rotating near-Earth asteroid (1566) Icarus at large phase (Sun-asteroid-observer's) angles alpha = 57 degrees-141 degrees around the 2015 summer solstice. We found that the maximum values of the linear polarization degree are P-max = 7.32 +/- 0.25% at phase angles of alpha(max) = 124 degrees +/- 8 degrees in the V-band and P-max = 7.04 +/- 0.21% at alpha(max) = 124 degrees +/- 6 degrees in the RC-band. Applying the polarimetric slope-albedo empirical law, we derived a geometric albedo of p(V) = 0.25 +/- 0.02, which is in agreement with that of Q-type taxonomic asteroids. amax is unambiguously larger than that of Mercury, the Moon, and another near-Earth S-type asteroid (4179) Toutatis but consistent with laboratory samples with hundreds of microns in size. The combination of the maximum polarization degree and the geometric albedo is in accordance with terrestrial rocks with a diameter of several hundreds of micrometers. The photometric function indicates a large macroscopic roughness. We hypothesize that the unique environment (i.e., the small perihelion distance q = 0.187 au and a short rotational period of T-rot = 2.27 hr) may be attributed to the paucity of small grains on the surface, as indicated on (3200) Phaethon.</P>

We derive the geometric albedo of a near-Earth asteroid, (4179) Toutatis, to investigate its surface physical conditions. The asteroid has been studied rigorously not only via ground-based photometric, spectrometric, polarimetric, and radar observations but also via \textit{in situ} observation by the Chinese Chang'e-2 space probe; however, its geometric albedo is not well understood. We conducted V-band photometric observations when the asteroid was at opposition in April 2018 using the three telescopes in the southern hemisphere that compose the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet). The observed time-variable cross section was corrected using the radar shape model. We find that Toutatis has a geometric albedo $\pV = \pVval $, which is typical of S-type asteroids. We compare the geometric albedo with archival polarimetric data and further find that the polarimetric slope--albedo law provides a reliable estimate for the albedo of this S-type asteroid. The thermal infrared observation also produced similar results if the size of the asteroid is updated to match the results from Chang'e-2. We conjecture that the surface of Toutatis is covered with grains smaller than that of the near-Sun asteroids including (1566) Icarus and (3200) Phaethon.
