Colors of Jupiter Trojan Dynamical Families as Measured by the Zwicky Transient Facility

Abstract

We use data from the first two years of the public survey of the Zwicky Transient Facility to analyze colors of proposed Jupiter Trojan asteroid families. The well studied Eurybates cluster remains the only family with a significant number of color measurements, and we find that the average colors of this family are less red than typical Jupiter Trojans, in agreement with smaller studies. The limited number of objects detected in this and other surveys for the other families makes their colors continue to be uncertain.
