Chemical Weathering Trends from Tir Spectral Models: Implications for Deriving Weathering Trends from Martian Spectral Data
Introduction: Chemical weathering and petrologic trends of the martian surface have been estimated from thermal infrared (TIR) spectral models from the Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) and Mini-TES on the Spirit and Opportunity rovers [1,2]. Interpretations of chemical data from APXS on the MER rovers and TIR data from TES and the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) suggest planet-wide ...
متن کاملEffects of chemical weathering on infrared spectra of Columbia River Basalt and spectral interpretations of martian alteration
We investigated the mineralogy of basalt weathering rinds and fresh basaltic rocks using visible/near-infrared (VNIR) (λ=0.4– 2.5 μm) and thermal emission (λ=6–30 μm) spectroscopy to 1) constrain the effects of chemical weathering on rock spectra, and 2) further understand the context of infrared spectra ofMars,whichmay contain evidence for weathered rocks and particulates derived from them. VN...
متن کاملClassification of Mars Pathfinder Rock Surfaces Using Quantitative Morphologic Indices
Background: The Mars Pathfinder (MPF) landing site was originally predicted to contain a broad sampling of rock types varying in mineralogical, physical, mechanical and geochemical characteristics. Although rocks have been divided into several spectral categories based on Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) visi-ble/near-infrared spectra, it has not been fully determined which of these categories ...
متن کاملSPACE WEATHERING ON ASTEROIDS: NEW RESULTS FROM THE ULTRAVIOLET. F. Vilas and A
Introduction: We present evidence that space weathering manifests itself at near-ultraviolet wavelengths as a bluing of the spectrum, in contrast with the spectral reddening that has been seen at visible-near-IR wavelengths. This UV bluing often results in a spectral reversal, where surfaces that are bright at visible-near-IR wavelengths are relatively dark at UV wavelengths, and vice-versa. Fu...
متن کاملSpace Weathering: an Ultraviolet Indicator
Introduction: We present evidence suggesting that the spectral slope of airless bodies in the UVvisible wavelength range can be used as an indicator of exposure to space weathering. While space weathering generally produces a reddening of spectra in the visible-NIR spectral regions, it tends to result in a bluing of the UV-visible portion of the spectrum, and may in some cases produce a spectra...
