Scientific paper

The visible and near-IR spectral reflectance of some minerals is a function of temperature. Hence, surface temperature variation must be considered for mineralogical interpretation of spectral reflectance data obtained from a spatially resolved surface which has a temperature distribution. An example is presented to illustrate the errors which can be encountered when interpreting the spectral reflectance of a silicate mineral assemblage, measured at various temperatures that might be expected across an asteroid surface. Independent knowledge of the surface temperature distribution would allow the optimal extraction of mineralogical information in such cases.
