Infrared Spectroscopy for Surface Compositions Across the Solar System
Infrared Spectroscopy for Surface Compositions Across the Solar System
Session ID#: 76881
Session Description:
Infrared spectroscopy has been used to determine the surface composition of solid objects in the solar system since the pioneering work from telescopes in the 60âs and 70âs. This session seeks to bring together infrared spectroscopists studying the surface composition of the terrestrial planets, the small bodies, icy moons and beyond in either short-wave-IR, long-wave-IR or both. Submissions are encouraged from either telescopic or spacecraft spectroscopy that highlight new results. Additionally, in celebration of AGUâs centennial, we also encourage submissions on the history and evolution of our understanding of surface compositions as spectroscopic techniques have improved or as we have achieved increased spatial resolution with spacecraft flybys, orbiters and landers. Submissions on spectroscopy from laboratory studies, extraterrestrial materials, and Earth analogs are also welcome.
