Influence of Observation Geometry and Composition on Vis-NIR Spectra of HED Meteorites
Abstract
Interpretation of Dawn data from asteroid (4) Vesta need a good understanding of analog materials: i.e. HED meteorites. Here we analyze the Vis-NIR spectra (0.3-2.5 microns) of 11 HED meteorites, most of them previously unmeasured, including an olivine diogenite. We focus on spectral variations induced by observation geometry and composition.
