This paper reports the first Raman spectral and imaging data on the ordinary chondrite Allan Hills A77278 (ALHA77278) in two and three dimensions. Mineralogy in the ALHA77278 meteorite appears to be mainly silicates (olivine ...

Synchrotron-based high spatial resolution hyperspectral infrared imaging technique provides thousands of infrared spectra with high resolution, thus allowing us to acquire detailed spatial maps of chemical molecular ...

Plain Language Summary The origins of the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos have been the subjects of considerable debate. Visible and near-infrared spectra of these bodies are dark and nearly featureless, with red slopes ...

Martian meteorites from SNC group were studied with synchrotron-based FTIR spectroscopy with ~1 µm spatial resolution in the mid-infrared region (4000-850 cm-1). Silicate region in EET A79001, ALH 84001, and Nakhla present ...

Chemical constituents and their spatial distributions in terrestrial and extraterrestrial samples may provide clues to their formation histories and secondary processes they were subjected to. Most analytical tools are ...
