The Observations of Deimos from the Emirates Mars Infrared Spectrometer (EMIRS)

خلاصة البحث

We present the initial views of the surface of Mars’ outer moon Deimos as observed by the Emirates Mars InfraRed Spectrometer (EMIRS), a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer observing from 6-50 µm with a spectral sampling of up to 5 cm-1. The primary science goal of the Emirates Mars Mission (EMM) is to study the variability in Mars’ atmosphere. As part of a coordinated campaign, the EMM spacecraft has adjusted its orbit into a resonance with Deimos, where it will periodically fly by the moon. Beginning the spring of 2023, EMIRS will collect numerous thermal infrared spectra of Deimos’ surface with a spatial resolution ranging from ~1-10 km. These observations will be the best-resolved infrared views of Deimos to date. Our planned observations achieve nearly complete global coverage of the surface, and span a range of local solar times, enabling investigations of both compositional and thermophysical properties. We will discuss these observations and initial findings.
