Scientific paper

Several objects classified as asteroids have orbits that are dynamically similar to those of comets. They are thought to be comets that have devolatilized by repeated passages through the inner solar system. Some of these objects are "near-Earth asteroids". This is a spectroscopic study of a sample of these objects. For spectroscopic comparison of the extinct comets, and for a parallel study of the compositions of low-albedo main belt and Trojan asteroids, a number of C, P, and D-type asteroids are included.
