Spectral comparison between asteroid Phaethon, Pallas, and similar Pallas family members, (4969) and (136038). The Phaethon VIS-NIR reflectance spectrum (red) is obtained from Small Main-belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey (SMASS) (Binzel et al. 2004) and MIT-UH-IRTF Survey (Binzel et al. 2006), the visible spectra of Pallas (gray dots) and 4969 (green dots) are obtained from SMASS II (Bus 1999). The Pallas NIR spectrum (gray line) is obtained from Clark et al. (2010), the 136038 VIS spectrum (yellow dots) is obtained from Gaia DR3 database (Gaia Collaboration 2016, 2023b) and the rest are from this work. All spectra were normalized to unity at 0.82 µm.
