Mid-Infrared Spectra, Spectroscopy

Scientific paper

In order to provide a comparative baseline for a variety of remote compositional analyses, reflectance spectra from the visible through the mid-infrared have been acquired for representative mature veils from Apollo 11, 12, 14,and 16. Similar spectra were acquired for size separates for Apollo 11 soil 10084. The finest fraction dominates both the visible and the midIR. Apollo 16 soils exhibit the shortest Christiansen Frequency (CF), a trend consistent with their feldspathic character. Finer soil size fractions, however, are observed to have longer CF, perhaps due to the effective strength of the Reststrahlen bands (RB). Altogether, features in the near-infrared are currently the most readily interpreted in terms of mineral composition and space weathering effects.
