Scientific paper

The present broadband and narrowband 1.2-3.5 micron spectrophotometry of 16 low-albedo asteroids encompasses C-, F-, P-, D-, and T-class asteroids, and has been used in an effort to identify low-temperature minerals on their surfaces. Attention has been given to the identification of water of hydration. While G-class asteroids have water-rich surfaces, and I asteroids possess some hydrated silicates, not all class Cs do. Finally, the P-, F-, and T-class asteroids do not seem to possess hydrated-silicate surfaces.
