Spectral properties of the surface reflectance of the northern polar region of Mercury

Diep, Pham Ngoc; Ngoc, Nguyen Bich; Bott, Nicolas

We analyze MESSENGER reflectance measurements covering the northern polar region of Mercury, the least studied region of the northern mercurian hemisphere. We use observations from the Mercury Dual Imaging System Wide-Angle Camera (MDIS/WAC) and the Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer (MASCS/VIRS) to study the spectral depende…
