Hunting for Hydrated Minerals on Trans-Neptunian Objects
We present new optical reflectance spectra of three potentially silicate-rich trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). These spectra were obtained with the aim of confirming past hints and detections of λ ∼ 0.7 μ m absorption features associated with the presence of iron-bearing phyllosilicates. Our new spec...
