Abstract :
The visible spectra of (42355) Typhon showed evidence for aqueously altered materials. Therefore we seek to understand if such an event is possible. We use data from the ESO / Very Large Telescope together with the Hapke Hapke radiative transfer model to interpret the surface composition of (42355) Typhon over the whole spectral range (∼ 0.5 − 2.4 μm). Our results points that (42355) Typhon could be a fragment from a larger parent body that suffered aqueous alteration.
