Planetary Terrestrial Analogues Library (PTAL) project: Raman data overview

Abstract: The multianalytical study of terrestrial analogues is a useful strategy to deepen the knowledge about the geological and environmental evolution of Mars and other extraterrestrial bodies. In spite of the increasing importance that laser‐induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIR), and Raman techniques are acquiring in the field of space exploration, there is a lack Web‐based platform providing free access to a wide multispectral database of terrestrial analogue materials. The Planet… Show more

“…Pyroxenite terrestrial analogues (named PYR1, PYR2 and PYR3) are part of the sample collection from the ERICA research group and were collected in northern Norway. Although the exact sampling area is unknown, many localities from northern Norway are widely acknowledged for being optimal terrestrial analogs of Martian geological contexts 8 . The selected coarse materials are dark in color and, based on microscopic observations, are mainly composed of pyroxene crystals with minor but varied amounts of olivine grains.…”

“…The Raman analysis of these ultramafic rocks was performed by means of the RLS ExoMars Simulator 7 , which is considered the most reliable laboratory spectrometer to effectively emulate the scientific outcome of the RLS system onboard the Rosalind Franklin rover 8 , 9 , 37 . The instrument includes a continuous laser source emitting at 532 nm, a high resolution TE Cooled CCD Array spectrometer, an optical head with a long WD objective of 50 × and a reply of the ExoMars sample holder.…”

“…Afterwards, more detailed spectroscopic analyses were carried out in the laboratory by means of the RLS ExoMars Simulator, which characteristics have been described elsewhere 20 . As detailed in previous works, this is the optimal instrument to predict the potential scientific outcome of the RLS flying model 21,22 . Indeed, in addition to the RLS-like optical spectral characteristics (as the RAD1), the spectrometer is coupled to a replicate of the ExoMars/ SPDS, and integrates the same algorithms developed for the RLS to perform the automatic multi-point analysis of Martian samples (e.g.…”

“…Currently, there is a paucity of web-based platforms providing free access to multispectral databases of analogue materials. Veneranda et al [26] proposes the development of the Planetary Terrestrial Analogue Library (PTAL) project, in which they provide a complete overview of 4,500 Raman spectra collected on analogue materials which have been incorporated into the PTAL database. Additionally, research by Galende et al [27] acquired a large number Raman and VNIR spectra of common and rare phyllosilicates to develop a database called Inorganic and Mineralogical Planetary and Terrestrial compounds (IMPAT-Dat).…”
