Redder/Bluer, Brighter/Darker, Deeper/Shallower Absorption Bands: Effects of Physical Properties, Space Weathering, and Observing Geometry on Reflectance Spectra of the Murchison CM2 Carbonaceous Chondrite
Abstract
Reflectance spectra of the Murchison CM2 chondrite show how variations in physical properties and viewing geometry can lead to changes in slope, albedo, and band depths. Heating and space weathering also lead to changes in band shapes and positions.
