Spectral Indexing of Chemical Weathering in the Mid-infrared: New Means to Evaluate Weathering on Mars
Introduction: Spectroscopic observations offer the best means to evaluate chemical weathering on Mars at regional and global scales. Near-infrared (NIR) spectral data from OMEGA and CRISM have revealed hydrated minerals that indicate aqueous alteration, including different clay minerals [1-3], sulfates [1,4], silica [5], and carbonates [6], which are regionally localized across the Martian high...
متن کاملOBSERVATION OF 3 μm HYDRATION FEATURE ON MARS FROM OMEGA-MEx DATA
Introduction: The OMEGA investigation, on board the ESA Mars Express mission, is to map Mars’ surface at a 0.3to 5-kilometer resolution using visible-infrared hyperspectral reflectance imagery. After numerous results on Mars surface diversity using the C channel (1.0 to 2.5 μm) [1], this paper reports a systematic reduction of the OMEGA data in the L channel (spectral range 2.5 to 5.1 μm). This...
متن کاملGeomorphic and Spectral Mapping of Northern Meridiani Planum
Introduction: Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC), Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA), Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS), and Mars Express Observatoire pour la Minéralogie, l’Eau, les Glaces et l’Activité (OMEGA) data were compiled and coregistered for analysis of a several hundred meter vertical section of plains, etched, and cratered units in the northern portion of Meridiani Planum. Five units...
متن کاملLithologic Unit Mapping Based on Omega/mars Express Data
This paper develops a procedure for mapping Martian lithologic units, using the OMEGA/Mars Express data. The procedure consists of correcting Martian atmospheric absorptions based on an empirical transmission function method, noise-free principle components analysis based on a minimum noise fraction (MNF) method, lithologic unit delineation, and spectral matching of the units to spectral librar...
متن کاملMars surface diversity as revealed by the OMEGA/Mars Express observations.
The Observatoire pour la Minéralogie, l'Eau, les Glaces, et l'Activité (OMEGA) investigation, on board the European Space Agency Mars Express mission, is mapping the surface composition of Mars at a 0.3- to 5-kilometer resolution by means of visible-near-infrared hyperspectral reflectance imagery. The data acquired during the first 9 months of the mission already reveal a diverse and complex su...
