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.
