Abstract

Aims. We present a comparative analysis of the spectral slope and color distributions of Jupiter Trojans, with particular attention to asteroid families. We use a sample of data from the Moving Object Catalog of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, together with spectra obtained from several surveys.
