[1] An analysis of the Northern Imbrium Noritic (NIN) region was conducted using Clementine UVVIS multispectral images and derived band parameters. Band parameters were used to map spatial variations in composition and to aid in general separation of compositional signatures from effects such as maturity and topography. Compositional trends in which the abundance of mafic materials relative to ...

HE PRINCIPAL SUBJECT MATTER of this paper is the description of a thod of obtaining a calibration curve relating apparent absorbancy 81) and concentration (x). It is frequently observed that the orbancy index decreases with increasing concentration in cases in ich one would expect Beer’s law, A = log(10/I) = KX, to hold. For ample, with our instrument, the absorbancy index at 273.5 m of a lutio...

Many attempts have been made to derive elemental abundances of the lunar surface from multispectral images. A method to predict Fe abundance based on Clementine UVVIS data is presented in [1]. A refined method which also addresses the TiO2 abundance is provided in [2], demonstrating that in spite of issues posed by soil maturity, grain size, mineral content, topographic shading, and glass conte...

Introduction: This contribution explores the mapping of spectral parameters of lunar features using the Clementine UVVIS+NIR data set covering the wavelength range between 415 and 2000 nm [1]. The extracted spectral features are the minimum and depth of the principal absorption trough near 1000 nm and the corresponding values of secondary absorption features present at higher wavelengths, as we...
