Scientific paper

There are reasons for believing in the existence of inert cometary nuclei. Such objects could resemble the D-type asteroids which constitute the majority of the outer belt asteroids. Due to their distance from the Sun and their low albedo, detailed spectroscopic studies have hitherto been lacking. Spectroscopic studies with the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope on La Palma show that amongst the D-type asteroids there is a correlation between reddening and distance from the Sun.
