Research’s Goals & Motivation
Hydration state of these asteroidsNature of phyllosilicate mineralogy on their surfaces
Address the question of the abundance and distribution of H2O in the early Solar System and test current theories on the formation and evolution of the giant planets in the early Solar System.
The goal: is to apply the 3-m spectral indicators (e.g., band center, band shape, band depth) in CM and CI chondrites to outer Main Belt asteroids (2.5 < a < 4.0 AU)
To better understand
Broad implication

O • Atmosphere not 100% transparent(the OH band at 2.7 μm is not observable from Earth)
• Thermal Excess(tail)
(for most main-belt low-albedo asteroids the thermal contribution is 1–10% of the total flux at 3.1-3.5 μm)
• Observe object and nearby star (~few degrees)
• Subtract nearby (~10 arcsec) sky emission• Divide object by star
(remove transmission & solar spectral shape)
• Average all frames
