Wavelength [μm]	A_geo (this work)	A_geo (Fornasier et al. 2015)

0.480	0.054 ± 0.002	0.0554 ± 0.0024
0.535	0.059 ± 0.002	0.0589 ± 0.0034
0.649^a	0.074 ± 0.002	0.0677 ± 0.0039
0.700	0.077 ± 0.002	0.0720 ± 0.0031
0.743	0.080 ± 0.003	0.0766 ± 0.0031

Notes.

^(a)

The value at 0.649 μm for the VIRTIS case is computed as an interpolation on the local continuum after removing the wavelengths in the 0.642–0.653 μm range, which are affected by a junction of the instrument spectral filters.
