High-resolution spectroscopic observations of asteroids Ceres and Pallas have been obtained in the 1.0- to 2.6-micron region. Combined with previous spectral measurements at other wavelengths, this work presents the broadband spectral reflectances of these asteroids over the 0.4- to 3.6-micron region. This extended coverage permits new analyses of the surface mineralogies of these objects. Using laboratory comparison spectra of meteorites and mixtures of terrestrial minerals, the surfaces of Ceres and Pallas are consistent with mixtures of opaques and hydrated silicates, such as are found in types C1 and C2 meteorites. This research emphasizes the importance of the 3-micron spectral region for studying by remote methods the relationship of carbonaceous chondrite mineralogies to asteroid surfaces.
