    Laboratory spectroscopy of meteorite samples at UV-Vis-NIR wavelengths: Analysis and discrimination by principal components analysis Antti Penttil¨aa,∗, Julia Martikainena, Maria Gritsevicha, Karri Muinonena,b aDepartment of Physics, P.O. Box 64, FI-00014 University of Helsinki, Finland bFinnish Geospatial Research Institute FGI, National Land Survey of Finland, Geodeetinrinne 2, FI-02430 Masala, Finland Abstract Meteorite samples are measured with the University of Helsinki integrating-sphere UV-Vis- NIR spectrometer. The resulting spectra of 30 meteorites are compared with selected spectra from the NASA Planetary Data System meteorite spectra database. The spectral measure- ments are transformed with the principal component analysis, and it is shown that different meteorite types can be distinguished from the transformed data. The motivation is to im- prove the link between asteroid spectral observations and meteorite spectral measurements. Keywords: Meteorites, spectroscopy, principal component analysis 1. Introduction While a planet orbits the Sun, it is subject to impacts by objects ranging from tiny dust particles to much larger asteroids and comet nuclei. Such collisions of small Solar System bodies with planets have taken place frequently over geological time and played an 5 important role in the evolution of planets and development of life on the Earth. Every day approximately 30{180 tons of interplanetary material enter the Earth's atmosphere [1, 2]. This material is mostly represented by smaller meteoroids that undergo rapid ablation in the atmosphere. Under favorable initial conditions part of a meteoroid may survive the atmospheric entry and reach the ground [3]. The fragments recovered on the ground are 10 called meteorites, our valuable samples of the Solar System.

By L. FLETCHER, M.A., F.R.S., Keeper of Minerals in the British Museum. (With a Map of the District, Plate X.) [Read March 12th and May 7th, ]889.J 1. THE immediate object of the present paper is to place on record J- the history and characters of several Atacama meteorites of which no description has yet been published; but incidentally it is con- venient at the same time to consider the relationship of these masses to others from the same region, which either have been already described, or at least are stated to be preserved in one or more of the known Meteo. rite-Collections. 2. The term " Desert of Atacama " is generally applied to that part of western South America which lies between the towns of Copiapo and Cobija, about 330 miles distant from each other, and which extends island as far as the Indian hamlet of Antofagasta, about 180 miles from 224 L.

A critical examination of the descriptive literature, and a compari- son of the manuscript and printed meteorite-lists, which have been placed at my service, lead to the conclusion that all the meteoritic frag- ments from Atacama now preserved in the known Collections belong to one or other of at most thirteen meteorites, which, for reasons given below, are referred to in this paper under the following names :-- 1.

They are larger dust particles and small rocky fragments, many no more than a gram in weight, which are burnt up by friction as they fall through the Earth’s atmosphere. Meteorites are larger pieces of rock that reach the Earth’s surface without getting burnt up in the atmosphere. A meteorite whose arrival has been witnessed is called a fall. Meteorites discovered without a known time of fall are The Nantan meteorite called finds.

  • Report of the United States National Museum
    — THE METEORITE COLLECTION IN THE U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM; A CATALOGUE OF METEORITES REPRESENTED NOVEMBER 1, 1886, By F. W. Clarke. The following catalogue has been prepared mainly to facilitate ex- changes and to aid in the upbuilding of the collection. In addition to the usual information as to title, date of fall, and weight of specimen, it has beeu thought well to give the source from which each example was obtained ; and it may be interesting to note that the meteorites ac- credited to Dr. J. Berrien. Lindsley were mainly received by him from the late Dr. J. Lawrence Smith. In the catalogue of the Shepard col- lection, now on deposit in the Museum, the arrangement of Professor Shepard himself has been followed without change. Including the Shepard meteorites, over 200 falls are now on exhibition, giving the entire collection a very respectable place among the larger collections of the world. The Tucson iron is unique, and therefore a cut of it is inserted. METEORIC IRONS. 1. Scriba, Oswego County, N. Y. Fouud about 1834. Fragment, 9.15 grammes. By exchange from S. C. H. Bailey. 2.

  • Meteorite Collections: Sample List
    Meteorite Collections: Sample List Institute of Meteoritics Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences University of New Mexico October 01, 2021 Institute of Meteoritics Meteorite Collection The IOM meteorite collection includes samples from approximately 600 different meteorites, representative of most meteorite types. The last printed copy of the collection's Catalog was published in 1990. We will no longer publish a printed catalog, but instead have produced this web-based Online Catalog, which presents the current catalog in searchable and downloadable forms. The database will be updated periodically. The date on the front page of this version of the catalog is the date that it was downloaded from the worldwide web. The catalog website is: Although we have made every effort to avoid inaccuracies, the database may still contain errors. Please contact the collection's Curator, Dr. Rhian Jones, ([email protected]) if you have any questions or comments. Cover photos: Top left: Thin section photomicrograph of the martian shergottite, Zagami (crossed nicols). Brightly colored crystals are pyroxene; black material is maskelynite (a form of plagioclase feldspar that has been rendered amorphous by high shock pressures). Photo is 1.5 mm across. (Photo by R. Jones.) Top right: The Pasamonte, New Mexico, eucrite (basalt). This individual stone is covered with shiny black fusion crust that formed as the stone fell through the earth's atmosphere. Photo is 8 cm across. (Photo by K. Nicols.) Bottom left: The Dora, New Mexico, pallasite. Orange crystals of olivine are set in a matrix of iron, nickel metal. Photo is 10 cm across. (Photo by K.

  • The Origin of Ancient Magnetic Activity on Small Planetary Bodies: a Nanopaleomagnetic Study
    The Origin of Ancient Magnetic Activity on Small Planetary Bodies: A Nanopaleomagnetic Study James Francis Joseph Bryson Department of Earth Sciences University of Cambridge This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Selwyn College October 2014 To my family and teachers Declaration I hereby declare that except where specific reference is made to the work of others, the contents of this dissertation are original and have not been submitted in whole or in part for consideration for any other degree or qualification in this, or any other University. This dissertation is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration, except where specifically indicated in the text. This dissertation contains fewer than 225 pages of text, appendices, illustrations, captions and bibliography. James Francis Joseph Bryson October 2014 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge my supervisors, Richard Harrison and Simon Redfern. Without Richard’s hard work, dedication, supervision and direction this project would not have been possible, and I feel privileged to have worked with him. Simon should be thanked for his guidance, hours of entertainment and awful jokes. I would like to acknowledge all of my collaborators, in particular Nathan Church, Claire Nichols, Roberts Blukis, Julia Herrero-Albillos, Florian Kronast, Takeshi Kasama and Francis Nimmo. Each has played an invaluable role in acquiring and understanding the data in this thesis and I would not have reached this point without their expertise and help. Martin Walker must be thanked for his assistance and calming influence. I would like to also thank Ioan Lascu for proof-reading this thesis and general advice.
