Abstract
This work was carried out within the framework of the European Space Agency and Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency BepiColombo space mission to Mercury and intends to provide valid tools for the interpretation of spectra acquired by the MErcury Radiometer and Thermal Infrared Spectrometer (MERTIS) on board of BepiColombo.
Two C2/c augitic pyroxenes, with different Mg/Fe ratios and constant Ca contents, were investigated by in situ high-temperature thermal infrared spectroscopy and in situ high-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction up to temperatures of about 750 and 770 K, respectively.
The emissivity spectra of the two samples show similar band center shifts of the main three bands toward lower wavenumbers with increasing temperature. In detail, with increasing temperature bands 1 and 2 of both samples show a much stronger shift with respect to band 3, which remains almost unchanged. Our results indicate that the center positions of bands 1 and 2 are strong functions of the temperature, whereas the center position of band 3 is a strong function of the Mg# [with Mg# = Mg/ (Mg + Fe2+) atomic ratio].
The analysis of the thermal behavior gives similar thermal expansion volume coefficients, αV, for the Mg-rich and Fe-rich samples, with αV = 2.72(8) and 2.72(7) × 10-5 K-1, respectively, using the Berman (1988) equation. This correspondence totally explains the band center shifts similarity between the two samples.
Our data suggest that MERTIS spectra will be able to provide indications of C2/c augitic pyroxene Mg# and will allow a correct interpretation that is independent on the spectra acquisition temperature.
