Quantitative compositional analysis of martian mafic regions using the MEx/OMEGA reflectance data 1. Methodology, uncertainties and examples of application
a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t The Mars Express Observatoire pour la Minéralogie, l'Eau, les Glaces et l'Activité (OMEGA) collected an unprecedented visible and near-infrared hyperspectral dataset covering the low albedo regions of Mars. We investigate the ability to infer modal abundance of surfaces of these regions from a radiative transfer model developed by Shkuratov et al. From OMEG...
متن کاملA spectroscopic analysis of Martian crater central peaks: Formation of the ancient crust
[1] The earliest formed crust on a single plate planet such as Mars should be preserved, deeply buried under subsequent surface materials. Mars’ extensive cratering history would have fractured and disrupted the upper layers of this ancient crust. Large impacts occurring late in Martian geologic history would have excavated and exposed this deeply buried material. We report the compositional an...
متن کاملMartian surface mineralogy from Observatoire pour la Minéralogie, l’Eau, les Glaces et l’Activité on board the Mars Express spacecraft (OMEGA/MEx): Global mineral maps
[1] After 2 years of operation the Observatoire pour la Minéralogie, l’Eau, les Glaces et l’Activité (OMEGA) imaging spectrometer on board Mars Express has acquired data coverage of the Martian surface with spatial resolution varying between 300 m and 4.8 km, depending on the pericenter altitude of the spacecraft’s elliptical orbit. We report the global surface distributions of some minerals us...
متن کاملMgm Deconvolution of Reflectance Spectrum of the Y981031 Lunar Meteorite
Introduction: We report Modified gaussian model (MGM) deconvolution analyses [2] of reflectance spectrum of the Yamato (Y) 981031. Petrological characteristics of Y981031 had already reported [1]. Absorption features derived from the MGM deconvo-lution are compared with the petrological characteristics of Y981031, and implication of the absorption features are discussed. Finally, we propose sou...
متن کاملMineral and Lithologic Mapping of Martian Low Albedo Regions Using OMEGA
Introduction: Since January 2004, OMEGA/Mars Express data has revealed a diverse and complex Martian surface mineralogy [1]. The important findings, together with Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES), Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS), and insitu observations from Mars Exploration Rovers, include but not limited to (1) hydrated sulfates [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]; (2) iron oxides and oxhydroxi...
