Analysis of <strong>Asteroid</strong> Spectra<br />

Absorption features identify the<br />

presence of specific transition metal or<br />

H 2 O (etc.) bearing minerals.<br />

The compositions of the mineral species<br />

are derived from the wavelengths of the<br />

band centers.<br />

The relative abundance of the mineral<br />

species are derived from the relative<br />

intensities of the absorption features.
