Spectroscopic Study of Aqueous Alteration of Asteroids Based on Carbonaceous Chondrites
-
摘要:针对未来对富挥发份小行星的遥感探测需求,开展了对碳质球粒陨石水蚀变的光谱学研究。分析了15个不同蚀变程度的碳质球粒陨石的1~20 μm红外光谱特征与岩石学性质,总结了水蚀变过程的光谱变异规律。结果表明:随着蚀变程度加深,指示层状硅酸盐与水分子的3 μm吸收带与仅指示水分子的6 μm吸收带的强度均加深,吸收中心均向短波方向移动。碳质球粒陨石的3 μm吸收带随蚀变程度增加而变得尖锐,吸收带光谱形态与蛇纹石类矿物的3 μm吸收特征类似,而6 μm吸收带形态随蚀变程度增加无明显变化。硅酸盐矿物在9~13 μm特征区的光谱形状也随蚀变程度增加而改变,12.4 μm/11.4 μm反射率比值减小,这是由于无水硅酸盐转化为层状硅酸盐。光谱变异规律未来可应用于小行星探测。Abstract:The aqueous alteration spectral features of carbonaceous chondrites for were studied for future volatile-rich asteroids exploration and remote sensing. The 1-20 μm infrared spectral features and petrographic characteristics of 15 carbonaceous chondrites with different alteration degrees were analyzed, and the spectral variation laws of the aqueous alteration were summarized. The findings demonstrate that as the degree of alteration of carbonaceous chondrites increases, the 3 μm absorption band, which indicates phyllosilicates and water molecules, and the 6 μm absorption band, which indicates only water molecules, both features increasing in strength and absorption centers shift to the short-wave. With more alteration, the 3 μm absorption band sharpens and resembles serpentine’s 3 μm absorption feature. However, as the degree of alteration increases, the 6 μm absorption band shape does not significantly change. The degree of alteration also affects the spectral shape of the 10-13 μm region. This region indicates silicate features. The 12.4 μm /11.4 μm reflectance ratio reduces as a result of the conversion of anhydrous silicates to phyllosilicates. Also discuss possible effects that the spectra and parameters discovered during this study may have on the outcomes from asteroids.
