Trojan asteroids orbiting at Jupiter's Lagrangian points are located. Spectroscopic studies indicate that the majority of astero contain large fractions of (a) carbon; (b) silicate rocks; The likely parent bodies of these MMs, the Veritas and Themis family asteroids, thus contain abundant phyllosilicate in agreement with spectroscopic studies of these asteroids that show the presence of Ch type members of the families (Ziffer et al., 2011). 3.

Astronomical spectroscopy is the study of astronomy using the techniques of spectroscopy to measure the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light and radio, which radiates from stars and other celestial objects. Study 40 Astronomy 161-Daunt Ch.

The majority of known asteroids orbit within the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, generally in relatively low-eccentricity (i.e.
