Orange glass - Evidence for regional deposits of pyroclastic origin on the moon
TL;DR: The spectral reflectance properties of the dark mantling deposits of the Taurus-Littrow region have been studied in this paper. But they are not suitable for the Apollo 17 landing area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compositional variability of the Marius Hills volcanic complex from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3)
S. Besse,Jessica M. Sunshine,M. Staid,Noah E. Petro,Joseph W. Boardman,Robert O. Green,James W. Head,Peter J. Isaacson,John F. Mustard,Carle M. Pieters +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the Marius Hills volcanic complex for the first time from 0.46 to 2.97 μm using the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3).
Journal ArticleDOI
The distribution of Mg-spinel across the Moon and constraints on crustal origin
Carle M. Pieters,Kerri Donaldson Hanna,L. C. Cheek,Deepak Dhingra,T. C. Prissel,Colin R.M. Jackson,D. P. Moriarty,Stephen W. Parman,Lawrence A. Taylor +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a robust assessment is made of the distribution and geologic context for the newly identified rock type on the Moon, a Mg-spinel-bearing anorthosite (pink-sinel-anorthosite, PSA).
Journal ArticleDOI
Grain Sizes and Mineral Compositions of Surface Regoliths of Vesta-like Asteroids
TL;DR: Visible and near-infrared reflectance spectra (0.4-1.0 μm) of 21 Vesta-like asteroids and 12 HED meteorite powders (
Journal ArticleDOI
The lunar rock and mineral characterization consortium: Deconstruction and integrated mineralogical, petrologic, and spectroscopic analyses of mare basalts
Peter J. Isaacson,Amit Basu Sarbadhikari,Amit Basu Sarbadhikari,Carle M. Pieters,Rachel L. Klima,Rachel L. Klima,Takahiro Hiroi,Yang Liu,Lawrence A. Taylor +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted coordinated mineralogy/petrography/spectroscopy analyses of a suite of pristine lunar basalts, including four basalt slabs (two low-Ti, two high-Ti) and paired thin sections.
