Abstract
Asteroid polarimetry has experienced important advancements in recent years. This includes the discovery of new classes of objects, a new assessment of the relation between geometric albedo and a variety of different polarimetric parameters, the first attempt to use in situ analyses of asteroid (4) Vesta to better understand the relation between local surface properties and disk-integrated polarimetric measurements, and the first applications of spectro-polarimetry to the physical characterization of the asteroids. The most recent results in the above topics are briefly summarized.
