SUMMARY:Organic materials and ices in the outer solar system
DESCRIPTION:Organic materials and ices in the outer solar system\nDr. Crist
 ina Dalle Ore\n\nThe composition of the outer solar system is of particula
 r interest because it holds the key to understanding the chemical evolutio
 n of the Solar System.\n\nObservations at the edge of the Solar System are
  difficult because of distance and size limitations. The Spitzer Space Tel
 escope has provided a wealth of data for Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs), the s
 mall inhabitants of this remote part of the Solar System past the orbit of
  Neptune, as well as for Centaurs, similar objects to the KBOs but with or
 bits that come closer to the Sun. Are these observations sufficient to tel
 l us what the composition of these objects is?\n\nWe briefly introduce spe
 ctral modeling, its strengths and limitations. Making use of synthetic sur
 face reflectance spectra we assess the feasibility of determining the comp
 osition of Kuiper Belt Objects and Centaurs making use of Spitzer-IRAC dat
 a alone.\n\n
