From Colors to Spectra and Back Again: First Near-IR Spectroscopic Survey of Neptunian Trojans

In this work, we present 0.7–5.0 μ m spectra of eight Neptunian Trojans (NTs) as observed by the JWST’s NIRSpec instrument. The reddest NT, 2013 VX _30 , exhibits a unique spectrum with strong absorption features between 3 and 4 μ m, while the bluest NT, 2006 RJ _103 , shows negligible water absorpt...
