On the application of magnetic methods for the characterisation of space weathering products
Space weathering is now commonly accepted to modify the optical and magnetic properties of airless body regoliths throughout the Solar System. Although the precise formation processes are not well understood, the presence of ubiquitous sub-microscopic metallic iron (SMFe) grains in lunar soils and corresponding spectral analyses have explained both the unique optical and magnetic properties of ...
متن کاملIrradiation of olivine by 4 keV He: Simulation of space weathering by the solar wind
[1] We have studied the effects of 4 keV He ion irradiation on olivine while measuring, in situ, changes in the near-infrared (NIR) reflectance and in the chemical composition of the surface. The observed changes in reflectance are reddening and the attenuation of the Fe-3d absorption bands in the NIR. Spectral reddening of irradiated olivine powder (<45 mm) correlates with the amount of metall...
متن کاملSurface Material Analysis of S-type Asteroids: Removing the Space Weathering Effect from Reflectance Spectrum
Introduction: Recent years, many researchers have been observing a lot of asteroid reflectance spectra in the UV, visible to NIR at wavelength region [e.g., 1-4]. Reflectance spectroscopy of asteroid at this range should bring us a lot of information about its surface materials. Pyroxene and olivine have characteristic absorption bands in this wavelength range. Low-Ca pyroxene has two absorptio...
متن کاملSpace Plasma Ion Processing of Ilmenite in the Lunar Soil: Insights from In-situ Tem Ion Irradiation Experiments
Introduction: Space weathering on the moon and asteroids results largely from the alteration of the outer surfaces of regolith grains by the combined effects of solar ion irradiation and other processes that include deposition of impact or sputter-derived vapors. Although no longer considered the sole driver of space weathering, solar ion irradiation remains a key part of the space weathering p...
