Reflectance spectra (0.3-2.6 microns) of 11 carbonaceous (C) chondrite powders (less than 100 or less than 125 microns) including 'unique' ones Y86720, Y82162, and B7904, have been measured and compared with those of 14 C asteroids. Among those C chondrites, only three 'unique' ones had close counterparts among C asteroids (Y86720 and 1 Ceres, Y82162 and 704 Interamnia, and B7904 and 31 Euphrosyne). Mixing calculations of those C chondrites by Hapke's isotropic model were also performed to improve fits of reflectance spectra of all the 14 C asteroids. If the grain-size distributions of those asteroid surfaces are similar to those C chondrite powders, the result suggests that all tested C asteroids contain a high amount of heated C chondrite material, such as Y86720, Y82162, and B7904.
