摘要:

我们使用黎明号航天器上的可见光和红光测绘光谱仪(VIR)的数据,在可见光波长下分析了灶神星的表面。我们绘制了小行星整个表面的各种光谱参数的变化,并得出了岩性图。我们利用最近校正的VIR可见光数据映射在550 nm的辐射因子,三种颜色的复合材料,两个光谱斜率,和相对于930 nm的晶体场在辉石签名的带面积参数。使用howardite-eucrite-diogenite(HED)陨石数据作为参考,我们推导出灶神星的岩性使用的930 nm和506 nm(自旋禁戒)带中心的变化,在VIR数据集观察。我们的光谱参数突出了在灶神星表面的显着的光谱多样性。这种多样性主要由撞击坑证明,并说明了灶神星地下和上地壳的异质性。撞击坑也直接参与了这种光谱多样性,将黑暗的外源物质带到了几乎整个半球。我们得出的岩性同意使用红外和可见光数据的组合获得的结果。因此,我们证明,它是可能的,以获得关键的矿物学信息,从可见光波长。除了506 nm的带,我们确定了550 nm的自旋禁阻带。正如合成辉石的实验室研究所报告的那样,我们也没有观察到灶神星表面这一特征的带中心的任何移动,因此也没有观察到不同矿物的带中心的任何移动,从而阻止了将550 nm的自旋禁带用于岩性推导。最后,最大的以前确定的橄榄石富集点显示了一个特殊的行为,在两个颜色的复合材料,但不是在其他光谱参数。

英文摘要:

We analyzed the surface of Vesta at visible wavelengths, using the data of the Visible and InfraRed mapping spectrometer (VIR) on board the Dawn spacecraft. We mapped the variations of various spectral parameters on the entire surface of the asteroid, and also derived a map of the lithology. We took advantage of the recent corrected VIR visible data to map the radiance factor at 550 nm, three color composites, two spectral slopes, and a band area parameter relative to the 930 nm crystal field signature in pyroxene. Using the howardite-eucrite-diogenite (HED) meteorites data as a reference, we derived the lithology of Vesta using the variations of the 930 nm and 506 nm (spin-forbidden) band centers observed in the VIR dataset. Our spectral parameters highlight a significant spectral diversity at the surface of Vesta. This diversity is mainly evidenced by impact craters and illustrates the heterogeneous subsurface and upper crust of Vesta. Impact craters also participate directly in this spectral diversity by bringing dark exogenous material to an almost entire hemisphere. Our derived lithology agrees with previous results obtained using a combination of infrared and visible data. We therefore demonstrate that it is possible to obtain crucial mineralogical information from visible wavelengths alone. In addition to the 506 nm band, we identified the 550 nm spin-forbidden one. As reported by a laboratory study for synthetic pyroxenes, we also do not observe any shift of the band center of this feature across the surface of Vesta, and thus across different mineralogies, preventing use of the 550 nm spin-forbidden band for the lithology derivation. Finally, the largest previously identified olivine rich-spot shows a peculiar behavior in two color composites but not in the other spectral parameters.
