Comparative planetary mineralogy: Pyroxene major- and minor-element chemistry and partitioning of vanadium between pyroxene and melt in planetary basalts

American Mineralogist, 2006
Pyroxene grains from 14 basalt suites from the Earth, Moon, Mars, and Vesta were studied by electron- and ion-microprobe techniques. The results show that several elemental trends can be related to planetary parentage and crystallization conditions including paragenetic sequence and kinetics.

Mineralogical study of proto-planetary disks in FU Orionis stars

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2009
AbstractWe report on mid-infrared (8–13 μm) spectroscopic observations of eight FU Orionis type objects and discuss a qualitative initial mineralogical analysis.

UV Raman spectroscopy—A technique for biological and mineralogical in situ planetary studies

Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 2007
We report on the great advantages of using deep UV Raman system for in situ planetary applications. Among them are to be mentioned: (I) higher scattering efficiency compared to VIS-IR Raman excitation wavelengths, (II) electronic resonance effects which increase the intrinsically weak Raman signal thus improving the S/N ratio of the detected Raman ...

Comparative planetary mineralogy: Implications of martian and terrestrial jarosite. A crystal chemical perspective

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2006
Abstract The importance of the discovery of jarosite at the Meridiani Planum region of Mars is discussed. Terrestrial studies demonstrate that jarosite requires a unique environment for its formation, crystallizing from highly acidic (pH  2 that reacted with aqueous solutions in shallow aquifers or on the martian surface. This interaction forms both

Optical design of a compact imaging spectrometer for planetary mineralogy

Optical Engineering, 2007
We present the design of a compact, wide-angle pushbroom imaging spectrometer suitable for exploration of solar system bodies from low orbit. The spectrometer is based on a single detector array with a broadband response that covers the range 400 to 3000 nm and pro- vides a spectral sampling of 10 nm.

Ultra-compact Imaging Spectrometer (UCIS) for in-situ planetary mineralogy: laboratory and field calibration

SPIE Proceedings, 2012
The Ultra-Compact Imaging Spectrometer (UCIS) is a miniature telescope and spectrometer system intended for mapping terrain mineralogy over distances from 1.5 m to infinity with spatial sampling of 1.35 mrad over a 30° field, and spectral sampling of 10 nm in the 600-2500 nm range.

Basalts as probes of planetary interiors: Constraints on the chemistry and mineralogy of their source regions

Precambrian Research, 1980
Basalt magmas, derived by the partial melting of planetary interiors, have compositions that reflect the pre-accretionary history of the material from which the planet formed, the planets, subsequent evolutionary history, the chemistry and mineralogy of the source regions, and the intensive thermodynamic parameters operating at the source and ...
