摘要：

We have obtained near-infrared spectra of the four brightest known Centaurs and of five irregular satellites of giant planets. Many of these objects show 1.5 and 2.0 mu m absorption bands indicative of water ice, including 1997 CU(26), Pholus, Phoebe (S9), and Nereid (N2). The satellites of Jupiter-Elara, Himalia, and Pasaphae (J6, J7, J8)-appear spectrally featureless, consistent with asteroidal origins for these bodies. Phoebe's surface water ice indicates that it formed as an icy planetesimal rather than as an asteroid.
