JWST Near-infrared Spectroscopy of High-albedo Jupiter Trojans: A New Surface Type in the Trojan Belt by Michael E. Brown, Ian Wong, Matthew Belyakov

“…The 0.8–2.5 μ m spectra of these objects match the spectra of neither the well-known “red” and “less-red” Jupiter Trojans nor of any known asteroid taxonomic class. The reflectivity of these objects does not rise redward of 4 μ m, a property that is seen in the previous JWST observations of Jupiter Trojans only in Polymele. …”
