Scientific paper

On 2002 we started an observational campaign devoted to the study of the surface composition of Jupiter Trojans. In particular we focused on the study of members of dynamical families: we obtained visible spectra of 80 objects belonging to 10 different families and for 24 of them we obtained also near-infrared spectra.
All the investigated bodies have featureless spectra: in particular, no signatures of water ice have been found on the spectra of these primordial bodies. L4 and L5 objects seem to have similar spectral behaviours and no evidence of a possible color-dimension trend has been found.
Tentative models of the surface composition, based on the Hapke theory, have been obtained.
