Thermal infrared emissivity spectral library of silicates measured under the Mercury simulated environment

<p>This is the thermal emissivity spectral library of silicates measured as a function of temperature under Mercury simulated environment. Data is measured at the Planetary Spectroscopy Laboratory (PSL), Institute of Planetary Research, German Aerospace Center (DLR), Berlin. The spectral library will be used for mineral identification of Mercury surface using MERTIS datasets. The manuscript related to this work is submitted to Icarus on the title &quot;<strong>Thermal Infrared Spectroscopy (7-14 &micro;m) of Silicates under Simulated Mercury Daytime Surface Conditions and their Detection: Supporting MERTIS onboard the BepiColombo Mission&quot;.</strong></p>
