Laser-induced fluorescence spectrum of Mahadevpur (near Namsai) meteorite of type H4=5 ordinary chondrite was excited with the help of a 25-mW green diode-pumped solid-state laser (532 nm), and a diffuse spectrum was photographed on a glass spectrograph in the wavelength range of 5400-6500 Å . The band system is attributed to silicate (olivine), a major component of the meteorite. A comparison of the emission system with that of Dergaon meteorite of type H5 ordinary chondrite was made.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
