The Perplexing Origin of (269) Justitia, the Rendezvous Target of the Emirates Mission to Explore the Asteroid Belt

Abstract

Justitia and Pompeja in the central main belt look like very red KBOs, but captured KBOs in the outer main belt, Hildas, and Trojans lack such objects. Why? Was their capture "special," or are they unusual bodies from the giant planet zone?
