• NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY OF TROJAN ASTEROIDS: EVIDENCE FOR TWO COMPOSITIONAL GROUPS (2008, background): “Irradiation of icy surfaces will tend to increase spectral slope (e.g., Thompson et al. 1987; Brunetto et al. 2006), but will also lower the albedo as organics are produced.”
• Observations of the Icy Universe (2015, background): “Finally, simple ices are transparent outside their vibrational modes, but the continuum opacities increase significantly for processed ices (Jenniskens, 1993; Brunetto et al., 2006) and ices with amorphous carbon inclusions (Preibisch et al., 1993).”
• The Compositions of Kuiper Belt Objects (2011, background): “The radiation processing of CH4 appears likely to be the cause of this coloration; long-term irradiation of CH4 will cause the ice to turn red (Brunetto et al. 2006).”
