(a) The reflectance spectra of each PEC target in this work normalized to 2.6 μm (gray dashed vertical line). Spectra are offset in reflectance by 0.4 for (2441) Hibbs and by increments of 0.3 for the remaining PFAs. All pink objects are members of the Polana asteroid family to distinguish them from the namesake asteroid of the Eulalia family, (495) Eulalia (in blue). Gray vertical bars locate the broad centers of the identified/tentative absorption bands. (b) The 2.7 μm region for each of the targets to highlight the slight shape differences within the sample. Normalization, color coding, and offsets are the same as the adjacent figure. (c) The 2.7 μm region for all 4 PEC targets in this work, with their spectra overlapping to show slight differences in band depth and shape. All spectra are normalized to 2.6 μm, and each corresponds to a specific color; (495) Eulalia is in blue, and the three PFAs are in shades of pink/purple. Error bars are removed for clarity.
