Visible and Near-Infrared Spectral Survey of Martian Meteorite Chips Stored at the National Institute of Polar Research
This is a compilation of photographs and VNIR reflectance spectral data of Martian meteorites stored at NIPR measured while Takahiro Hiroi was a visiting professor at NIPR during the summer of 2010. The project was later funded by the Japanese Government grant (JSPS KAKENHI Grant Number 24540493). The detailed results were published as:
