Near-mid infrared spectroscopy of carbonaceous chondrites: Insights into spectral variation due to aqueous alteration and thermal metamorphism in asteroids

Zhao, Haibin; Cloutis, Edward A.; Yu, Jinfei +2 more

Carbonaceous chondrites (CCs) are windows into the early Solar System and the histories of their parent bodies. Their infrared spectral signatures are powerful proxies for deciphering their composition and evolution history, but still present formidable challenges in relation to determining the degree of secondary processing such as aqueous altera…
