J-type asteroid

J-type asteroids are asteroids with spectra similar to that of Diogenite meteorites and so, presumably, to the deeper layers of the crust of 4 Vesta.

Their spectra are rather similar to that of the V-type asteroids but have a particularly strong 1 μm absorption band.

Examples are 2442 Corbett, 3869 Norton, 4005 1979 TC2, and 4215 1987 VE1. [1]
