摘要：
We present near-infrared photometry which confirms that asteroid 5145 Pholus has unusually red visual to infrared colors. Its near-infrared spectrum exhibits structure between 1.8 and 2.4 μm which may indicate the presence of surface ices mixed with complex organic compounds (e.g., tholins) of some as yet unknown type. © 1993 by Academic Press, Inc.
