Caption: Figure 15.

Left: spectra of NEOs 2013 CW32, 2016 CM194, 2017 WX12, and 2019 SH6. All the spectra show absorption bands centered at ∼0.9 and 2.0 μm due to the minerals olivine and pyroxene. Spectra have been offset for clarity. Right: continuum-removed spectra of the same objects. The mean spectrum of an S-type from DeMeo et al. (2009) is also shown.
