Description: Attempts to match the E asteroids with enstatite-rich meteorites universally conclude that the aubrites or enstatite chondrites are natural candidates, and accordingly conclude that E asteroids as a class are very water-poor. Accordingly, the highly reduced nature of typical enstatite-rich meteorites suggests that aqueous alteration was an improbable process on any E asteroid. However, there are spectroscopic observations of several E-class asteroids that suggest the presence there of hydrated phases. Examination of the Kaidun meteorite reveals the true situation.
