JWST Near-infrared Spectroscopy of High-albedo Jupiter Trojans: A New Surface Type in the Trojan Belt

We present 0.8–5 μ m JWST spectra of four  ~20 km diameter Jupiter Trojans known to have albedos elevated above the values typical in the remaining Trojan population. The spectra of these four high-albedo Jupiter Trojans are all similar, with red slopes in the optical–IR transition region, a break t...
