Scientific paper

Near-infrared (0.8-2.5 μm) spectrophotometry, acquired on 2002 July 18.25, is presented for the Pluto-Charon system. The sub-Earth longitude and latitude of Pluto at the time of the observations were 80° and 28.5d, with a phase angle of 1.25d. The data span wavelength segments that are typically covered by different instruments and includes the seldom-observed 1-1.3 μm region. The geometric albedo is compared to previous observations that were close to this longitude, and no significant differences are seen. Wavelength shifts, relative to laboratory values for pure methane ice and methane immersed in N2 ice, are reported for a number of methane features in Pluto's spectrum.
