Spectral Properties of Fe Hydroxy Sulfates and Implications for Mars
Abstract
Fe-rich hydroxy sulfates have unique NIR spectral features at 2.236 and 2.37 µm for Fe2+ samples, at 2.226 and 2.4 µm for an MgFe2+ sample, and at 2.230 and 2.4 µm for an Fe3+ sample that can explain unusual features in sulfate-rich regions of Mars.
