The Planetary Spectroscopy group at MIT primarily study asteroids,both in the asteroid belt and those that approach the Earth (as wellas others, where available!). We use reflectance spectroscopy toclassify like objects together based on their spectral properties aswell as doing more detailed studies of their composition.
