Justitia compared to low-albedo small bodies with dissimilar spectra. Okyrhoe is classified as BR or IR by D. Perna et al. (2010); Sinope and Leucus are steeply sloped objects. Antiope is a main-belt asteroid with a spectrum much more similar to that of Okyrhoe than Justitia’s spectrum. A Justitia-like absorption would be seen in Sinope or Leucus. The spectra of Antiope, Okyrhoe, Sinope, and Leucus are from A. S. Rivkin et al. (2022), J. Licandro et al. (2025), B. N. L. Sharkey et al. (2025), and I. Wong et al. (2024), respectively. The Sinope data can be obtained from MAST (B. N. L. Sharkey 2025).
