An infrared reflectance study of water in outer belt asteroids: Clues to composition and origin.
This study consisted of a comprehensive laboratory and telescopic investigation of H₂O distribution among the low-albedo, outer belt asteroids (2.5-5.2 AU). The water distribution was determined by surveying asteroids for the 3-μm molecular H₂O and structural OH ion absorption, the spectral signatur...
