Description
We find a clear diversity in the 3 μm and 10 μm features of three
Cybele asteroids: (107) Camilla, (121) Hermione, and (65) Cybele. (121)
Hermione exhibits a "check-like" 3 μm feature, which may be
attributed to OH-dominated minerals and (107) Camilla shows a rounded
"bowl" like feature closer to that of (65) Cybele, which may be
attributed to H2O-dominated minerals. The 10 μm features
of these three asteroids are also different from each other.

Minor Bodies of the Solar System
This project studies the physical and compositional properties of the so-called minor bodies of the Solar System, that includes asteroids, icy objects, and comets. Of special interest are the trans-neptunian objects (TNOs), including those considered the most distant objects detected so far (Extreme-TNOs or ETNOs); the comets and the comet-asteroid
