Research Abstract

We observed "dark" olivine grains in Martian and lunar meteorites and found that nano-particles of either Fe metal or magnetite are widely distributed. We analyzed these dark olivine grains by infrared microscope and found that the infrared spectral data around 1050cm^<-1> showed clear difference between dark and bright areas in olivine grains. These results gave important implications for interpreting infrared remote sensing data obtained by spacecrafts.
