This dissertation discusses two related clinical applications of visible regime diffuse reflectance spectroscopy as well as two new configurations of liquid crystal microspectrometer suitable in …
The climatic history of Mars has been indirectly studied through the remote detection of minerals produced by chemical alteration across its surface. While the martian …
Detailed textural, mineralogical and chemical analyses of extraterrestrial materials have raised numerous questions about the igneous evolution and cooling histories of their parent bodies. Remote …
A suite of lunar materials is examined with reflectance spectroscopy. Reflectance spectroscopy is capable of collecting compositional data for planetary surfaces at high spatial resolution …
Spectroscopic binaries are an essential tool in astrophysics because they provide a simple method of determining the masses and radii of stars to high precision …
Sulfates are important secondary minerals produced from the evaporation of fluids involved in the aqueous alteration of Mars' primary lithology [Tosca et al. 2005]. Sulfates …
