The effectiveness of continuum-removal procedures for the isolation of specific mineral-absorption features can be evaluated through the use of reflectance spectra obtained for lunar, and possibly for asteroidal and Mercurian, soil analogs. While currently employed straight-line continuum-removal procedures are found to furnish generally reasonable reconstructions of mafic silicate absorption bands, in terms of band-center wavelengths, superior results may be achievable via the removal from observational spectra of a more carefully derived glass continuum; from this, the abundances of ferrous iron content of the mafic silicates could be obtained.
