Spectral Mapping of Mare Mosciviense, Lunar Farside, from Clementine Uvvis
Background: The Clementine mission provided the first high resolution mul-tispectral image data set of the far side of the Moon. While near side surface morphological units have been studied extensively from earth based spectral measurements, this is the first opportunity to examine the compositional properties of far side areas. Moscoviense is one of the prominent large impact basins on the lu...
متن کاملSearching for high alumina mare basalts using Clementine UVVIS and Lunar Prospector GRS data: Mare Fecunditatis and Mare Imbrium
a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t In the context of sample evidence alone, the high-alumina (HA) basalts appear to be an unique, and rare variety of mare basalt. In addition to their distinct chemistry, radiometric dating reveals these basalts to be among the oldest sampled mare basalts. Yet, HA basalts were sampled by four missions spanning a lateral range of ∼2400 km, with ages demonstrat...

متن کاملEstimation of Lunar Elemental Abundances Using Clementine UVVIS+NIR Data
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...
متن کاملAnalysis of Absorption Trough Features Using Clementine Uvvis+nir Imagery
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...
