摘要:

相位角引起的光谱效应是很重要的,因为它们会影响光谱带参数,如带深和带中心,因此通过反射光谱倾斜的行星体的矿物学解释。矮行星(1)谷神星是美国宇航局黎明号任务的下一个目标,预计将于2015年3月到达。黎明号上的可见光和近红外测绘光谱仪(VIR)具有空间和光谱范围,可以表征0.25-5.0微米之间的表面。谷神星由于含有羟基和/或含水矿物,在3.0微米处具有吸收特征(例如,Lebofsky等人,1981年; Rivkin等人,2003年)。我们使用NASA红外望远镜设施(IRTF)的SpeX摄谱仪/成像仪的长波长交叉色散(LXD:1.9-4.2微米)模式测量的光谱,分析了相位角引起的光谱对谷神星3微米吸收带的影响。在0.7 °至22 °的不同相位角下测量了Ceres LXD光谱。我们发现,带中心从较低相位角(0.7o和6 o)的3.06微米略微增加到较高相位角(11 o和22 o)的3.07微米,带深度从较低相位角到较高相位角减小约20%,带面积从较低相位角到较高相位角减小约25%。我们的研究结果将对限制来自VIR光谱数据的谷神星表面OH丰度产生影响,该数据将于2015年春季开始由黎明获得。

英文摘要:

Phase angle-induced spectral effects are important to characterize since they affect spectral band parameters such as band depth and band center, and therefore skew mineralogical interpretations of planetary bodies via reflectance spectroscopy. Dwarf planet (1) Ceres is the next target of NASA's Dawn mission, which is expected to arrive in March 2015. The visible and near-infrared mapping spectrometer (VIR) onboard Dawn has the spatial and spectral range to characterize the surface between 0.25-5.0 microns. Ceres has an absorption feature at 3.0 microns due to hydroxyl- and/or water-bearing minerals (e.g. Lebofsky et al. 1981, Rivkin et al. 2003). We analyzed phase angle-induced spectral effects on the 3-micron absorption band on Ceres using spectra measured with the long-wavelength cross-dispersed (LXD: 1.9-4.2 microns) mode of the SpeX spectrograph/imager at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF). Ceres LXD spectra were measured at different phase angles ranging from 0.7o to 22o. We found that the band center slightly increases from 3.06 microns at lower phase angles (0.7o and 6o) to 3.07 microns at higher phase angles (11 o and 22o), the band depth decreases by ~20% from lower phase angles to higher phase angles, and the band area decreases by ~25% from lower phase angles to higher phase angles. Our results will have implications for constraining the abundance of OH on the surface of Ceres from VIR spectral data, which will be acquired by Dawn starting spring 2015.
