Colors of comets and ACO populations.

Population (BV) (VR) Data source
Active JFCs 0.79 ± 0.11 0.44 ± 0.03 Solontoi et al. (2012)
JFCs nuclei 0.82 ± 0.11 0.48 ± 0.10 Lamy & Toth (2009)
JFC-ACOs 0.76 ± 0.05 0.42 ± 0.06 This paper
Active LPCs 0.78 ± 0.02 0.47 ± 0.02 Jewitt (2015)
LPCs nuclei 0.80 ± 0.07 0.43 ± 0.04 Lamy & Toth (2009)
Damocloids 0.79 ± 0.03 0.47 ± 0.02 This paper
Sun 0.64 ± 0.02 0.35 ± 0.01

Notes. The colors of comets are computed based on the data in column Data source. The colors of JFC-ACOs and Damocloids are computed from the visible S′ distributions obtained in this paper using Eq. (2) in Jewitt (2002).
