摘要：
We have obtained a near-infrared spectrum of the bright Kuiper Belt object 2000 EB173; the spectrum appears featureless. The spectrum has a sufficient signal-to-noise ratio to rule out the 1.5 and 2.0 pm absorption from water ice even at the low level seen in the Centaur Chariklo. In addition, we can rule out a 2.3 mum absorption at the level seen in the Centaur Pholus.
