Descripción
Visible and near-infrared spectra (0.5-2.4 μm) of TNOs (50000) Quaoar
and 2002 TX300 taken with the Italian 3,56m "Telescopio
Nazionale Galileo" are presented and analyzed in the framework of the
simple one-dimensional geometrical-optics formulation by Shkuratov et
al. (1999, Icarus 137, 235). The detection of deep absorption bands in
the near-infrared and the general behavior of the spectra allowed us to
study the composition of the surface of these TNOs. The results are
discussed in the framework of the different resurfacing models already
proposed.
