TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present 7.6 - 13.3 microns infrared (IR) spectrophotometry (R approx. = 180 - 350) of the 10 microns silicate emission from dust in the inner coma (i.e., within a diameter of 3in.) of comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) at four temporal epochs from 1996 October through 1997 June during the approach to, arrival at, and recession from perihelion.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that in situ annealing of micron-sized dust grains can occur, obviating the need for large-scale radial transport, and the peak temperatures of pyroxene grains under conditions typical in protoplanetary disks at 5-10 AU.

TL;DR: The NASA Curiosity rover Mast Camera (Mastcam) system is a pair of fixed-focal length, multispectral, color CCD imagers mounted approximately 2 m above the surface on the rover's remote sensing mast, along with associated electronics and an onboard calibration target as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the analysis of 7.6-13.2 μm infrared spectrophotometry (R 250) of comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp), in conjunction with concurrent observations that extend the wavelength coverage of the spectral energy distribution from near-to far-infrared wavelengths.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the computational analysis of the 7.6 - 13.2 micrometer infrared spectrophotometry (R approximately equal to 120) of comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) in conjunction with concurrent observations which extend the spectral energy distribution from the near-infrared to farinfrared wavelengths.
