Scientific paper

The authors study the Aristarchus region on the Moon by means of imaging spectroscopy data. They report the albedo, the UVVIS continuum and 0.9 - 1 μm absorption band maps, showing the complex pattern of Aristarchus crater ejecta and the distribution of surrounding materials. The extension of the dark mantling deposits present on the Aristarchus plateau is well shown from the data, appearing very red and with a uniform distribution of the 0.9 - 1 μm band. By using principal component analysis and clustering techniques the authors have identified seven different spectral regions. The plateau is composed of two distinct spectral units, while Aristarchus and its ejecta blanket show a complex distribution of both feldspatic and basaltic materials.
