Near‐infrared optical constants of naturally occurring olivine and synthetic pyroxene as a function of mineral composition

Abstract: [1] Radiative transfer theory will assist in determining olivine and pyroxene proportions and compositions from the surface of a planetary body composed of intimately mixed minerals. In order to use radiative transfer techniques, the model requires the optical constants of olivine and pyroxene. Optical constants are parameters that describe the degree light absorbed (k) and refracted (n) in a medium. Here we only parameterize k in the near infrared from 0.6 to 2.5 mm of natural olivine as a function of forster… Show more

“…Library (Clark et al, 2007). In addition, we supplemented this collection of 11 USGS olivines with two additional USGS provided olivine spectra and eight additional olivines sourced from the RELAB reflectance database (http://www.planetary.brown.edu/relab/), in order to avoid biases due to reflectance measurements in a particular lab, as suggested by Trang et al (2013).…”

“…To demonstrate how spectral reflectance varies with metallic iron abundance we performed a test with radiative transfer theory (Hapke, 1993(Hapke, , 2001(Hapke, , 2012Lucey and Riner, 2011) using the optical constants of orthopyroxene (Trang et al, 2013), metallic iron (Cahill et al, 2012), and plagioclase (Lucey, 2002), respectively. The spectrum of a noritic anorthosite assemblage (75 vol.% plagioclase; 25 vol.% orthopyroxene; Mg' of 75) was modeled and then the assemblage was modified in two ways.…”

“…Optical constants from Trang et al . [] should be tested to see if they can improve the correlation between the modeled and the true abundance of olivine and the pyroxenes. Table shows the ilmenite abundance of the 15 lunar soil samples used in our validation, as determined by the LSCC, and the maximum stoichiometrically possible ilmenite content calculated compared to our four different implementations of our radiative transfer modeling.…”

“…Recent optical constants for olivine and the pyroxenes (e.g., from Trang et al . []) could be used in the future to see if it the spectral fit can be improved, and if the correlation between the modeled and the true abundance of these minerals can be improved.…”
