Photometric behavior of NIR band depths in small bodies explored by space missions.

Body Albedo Band depth vs. phase(*) Reference
Vesta 0.40 Increasing Longobardo et al. (2014)
Ceres 0.09 Increasing Longobardo et al. (2019)
67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko 0.06 Constant Longobardo et al. (2017)
Ryugu 0.04 Decreasing This work

Notes. (*)The band depths considered include 0.9 and 1.9 µm for Vesta (due to pyroxenes), 2.7 and 3.1 µm for Ceres (due to ammoniated phyllosilicates), 3.2 µm for 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (due to organics and ammonium salts), and 2.7 and 2.8 µm for Ryugu (due to phyllosilicates).
