cds-question@unistra.frsolar-systemasteroidsinfrared-astronomyspectroscopyWe present here an extensive survey of near-infrared (NIR) spectra of Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) and Centaurs taken with the Keck I Telescope. We find that most spectra in our sample are well characterized by a combination of water ice and a featureless continuum. A comparative analysis reveals that the NIR spectral properties have little correlation to the visible colors or albedo, with the exception of the fragment KBOs produced from the giant impact on 2003 E2008AJ....135...55Bhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/135/55CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicerelated-toB/astorb : Orbits of Minor Planets (Bowell+ 2010)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/135/55https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/135/55http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/AJ/135/55https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/135/55https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/135/55http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/AJ/135/55GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapInfrareddefaultJ/AJ/135/55/objectsList of studied Centaurs and Kuiper Belt objectsrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
