Study of the Surface of 2003 EL61: the largest carbon-depleted object in the trans-neptunian belt
N. Pinilla-ALonso, R. Brunetto, J. Licandro +3
2003 EL61 is the largest member of a group of TNOs with similar orbits and 'unique' spectra (neutral slope in the visible and the deepest water ice absorption bands ever observed i…
Taxonomy of asteroid families among the Jupiter Trojans: Comparison between spectroscopic data and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey colors
F. Roig, A. O. Ribeiro, R. Gil-Hutton
We present a comparative analysis of the spectral slope and color distributions of Jupiter Trojans, with particular attention to asteroid families. We use a sample of data from the…
V-type asteroids in the middle Main Belt
F. Roig, D. Nesvorny, R. Gil-Hutton +1
The recent discovery of the first V-type asteroid in the middle belt, (21238) 1995WV7, located at ~2.54 AU, raises the question of whether it came from (4) Vesta or not. In this pa…
The water ice rich surface of (145453) 2005 RR43: a case for a carbon-depleted population of TNOs?
N. Pinilla-Alonso, J. Licandro, R. Gil-Hutton +1
Recent results suggest that there is a group of TNOs (2003 EL61 being the biggest member), with surfaces composed of almost pure water ice and with very similar orbital elements. W…
