Acidic weathering of basalt and basaltic glass: 1. Near-infrared spectra, thermal infrared spectra, and implications for Mars
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2017-01-24)
Acid-leached rinds and coatings occur in volcanic environments on Earth and have been
identified using orbital spectroscopy on Mars, but their development is poorly understood. We simulated long-term open-system acidic ...
Pyroxene spectroscopy revisited: Spectral-compositional correlations and relationship to geothermometry.
(Journal of Geophysical Research, 1991-12-25)
Pyroxene reflectance and transmittance spectra have been examined in a search for systematic relationships between spectral features and compositional variations and to assess the applicability of reflectance spectroscopy ...
Acid weathering of basalt and basaltic glass: 2. Effects of microscopic alteration textures on spectral properties
(Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2017-01-24)
Acid alteration has long been proposed for the Martian surface, and so it is important to understand how the resulting alteration textures affect surface spectra. Two basaltic materials of varying crystallinity were altered ...
Pyroxene reflectance spectra: Minor absorption bands and effects of elemental substitutions
(Journal of Geophysical Research, 2002-06-13)
Reflectance spectra of a suite of compositionally diverse pyroxenes exhibit variable spectral properties which are associated with various elemental substitutions. Those associated with transition series elements, such as ...
Calibrations of phase abundance, composition, and particle size distribution for olivine-orthopyroxene mixtures from reflectance spectra
(American Geophysical Union, 1986-10-10)
Spectral reflectance measurements of characterized (phase abundance, particle size) mixtures of olivine and orthopyroxene were utilized to define the correlations between spectral and albedo parameters of such assemblages ...
Surface albedo and spectral variability of Ceres
(The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2016-01-29)
Previous observations suggested that Ceres has active, but possibly sporadic, water outgassing as well as possibly varying spectral characteristics over a timescale of months. We used all available data of Ceres collected ...
Manganese-rich olivines: Identification from spectral reflectance properties
(Journal of Geophysical Research, 1997-11-25)
Reflectance spectra of manganese-rich olivines were examined to determine which spectral features allow these minerals to be distinguished from forsteritic-fayalitic olivines. The results indicate that manganese-rich ...
Physical characterization of ~2 m diameter near-Earth asteroid 2015 TC25: A possible boulder from E-type asteroid (44) Nysa
(The Astronomical Journal, 2016-11-11)
Small near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) (<20 m) are interesting, because they are progenitors for meteorites in our terrestrial collection. The physical characteristics of these small NEAs are crucial to our understanding of the ...
Imaging spectroscopy of geological samples and outcrops: Novel insights from microns to meters
(GSA Today, 2015-12-01)
Imaging spectroscopy is a powerful, non-destructive mineralogic tool that provides insights into a variety of geological processes. This remote measurement technique has been used for decades from orbital or aerial platforms ...
Spectral reflectance properties of zeolites and remote sensing implications
(Journal of Geophysical Research, 2002-09-25)
The 0.3- to 26-μm reflectance spectra of a suite of 28 zeolites were measured and analyzed to derive spectral-compositional-structural relationships. Below ~7 μm, the spectra are largely dominated by absorption features ...
