Spectral Diversity of DiSCo’s TNOs Revealed by JWST: Early Sculpting and Late Irradiation

Spectral Diversity of DiSCo’s TNOs Revealed by JWST: Early Sculpting and Late Irradiation

The spectral diversity of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) is crucial for understanding the processes that led to the formation and evolution of planetesimals in the outer solar system. Using near-IR (NIR) spectra obtained by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) as part of the DiSCo-TNOs large progra...
