Scientific paper

Measurements made between 0.887 and 2.4 microns demonstrate that the
Jovian ring and Amalthea have similar reflection spectra. The spectra,
in particular the ratio of the 0.9- to 2.2-micron reflectivities, are
inconsistent with those expected from water, ammonia, or methane frosts,
but are consistent with reflection from large rock bodies.
