Reflectance Spectra of Monohydrated Sulfates with Variable Mg and Fe Abundance, and Implications for Their Identification on Mars
Abstract
Reflectance spectra of synthetically prepared monohydrated Mg/Fe sulfate (MHS) show variability in band position based on the amount of Fe in the structure. Knowledge of these shifts can be used to infer the Fe content of MHS in martian outcrops.
