Near-ultraviolet absorption distribution of primitive asteroids from spectrophotometric surveys. I. Radial distribution
Context. Hydrated minerals, such as phyllosilicates, on asteroids can provide constraints on the temperature or compositional distribution of the early Solar System. Previous studies pointed out the possibility that absorption in the near-ultraviolet (NUV, 0.35-0.5 μm) wavelength region is a proxy for hydrated minerals in primitive asteroids
