The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Compositional Structure of the Asteroid Belt (2015, background): “Beyond the 3-micron feature, the mid-infrared range (7-25 microns) holds a wealth of information (Emery et al., 2006) because many minerals have diagnostic features at these wavelengths.”
Density of asteroids (2012, background): “Expanding the taxonomy toward longer wavelengths (2–5 and 5 2 40 m m range) will help in that respect ( e.g. , Rivkin et al., 1995, 2002; Emery et al., 2006).”
Thermal infrared (vibrational) spectroscopy of Mg–Fe olivines: A review and applications to determining the composition of planetary surfaces (2010, background): “…studies (e.g., Cohen et al., 1998; Heras et al., 2000; Barucci et al., 2002; Dotto et al., 2002, 2004; Stansberry et al., 2004; Lim et al., 2005; Emery et al., 2006; Gehrz et al., 2006; Lisse et al., 2006; Barucci et al., 2008) have identified spectral features proposed to be indicative of…”
NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY OF TROJAN ASTEROIDS: EVIDENCE FOR TWO COMPOSITIONAL GROUPS (2008, methodology): “Thermal emission spectra have previously revealed the presence of fine-grained silicates on Trojan asteroids (Emery et al. 2006), but these new near-IR spectra display no indication of the 1- and 2-μm absorption bands characteristic of crystalline silicates.”
