Mid-infrared reflectance spectroscopy of aubrite components

Helbert, Joern; Hiesinger, Harald; Weber, Iris +5 more

Aubrites Peña Blanca Spring and Norton County were studied in the mid-infrared reflectance as part of a database for the MERTIS (Mercury Radiometer and Thermal Infrared Spectrometer) instrument on the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission to Mercury. Spectra of bulk powder size fractions from Peña Blanca Spring show enstatite Reststrahlen bands (RB) at 9 µ…
