Scientific paper

Middle infrared transmission spectra of 53 meteorites were studied. Data were obtained from 14 carbonaceous chondrites, five LL, six L, and 10 H ordinary chondrites, one enstatite chondrite, four aubrites, three eucrites, four howardites, one diogenite, one mesosiderite, two nakhalites, one shergottite, and the unique achondrite Angra dos Reis. The results show that some classes or related classes of meteorites can be identified by their infrared spectra alone. In particular, the CM and CI carbonaceous chondrites, the enstatite meteorites, and the sole mesosiderite all have distinctive spectra. The CO and CV carbonaceous chondrites are spectrally similar to each other and distinct from the other carbonaceous chondrites. The ordinary chondrites constitute a spectral group but cannot be uniquely separated into their LL, L and H subclasses with the sample sizes used in this study. The eucrites, howardites, diogenites, shergottites, nakhalites, and angrites fall into a single spectral group.
