Study employs VNIR spectroscopy to analyze glass and crystal content in synthetic Martian analogues, suggesting new insights into planetary geology.
This file contains the supporting information of the research with the title: "Visible and Near Infrared (VNIR) spectroscopy to decipher glass and crystal content of lab-made Martian volcanic analogues". The materials are three synthetic analogue products (N10, N11, N12) and a starting glass (Nglass). The file includes: (i) supporting figures and tables; (ii) quantitative mineralogical compositions from XRPD patterns refined with the Rietveld method using corundum as internal standard, with associated refinement quality parameters (Rp, Rwp); (iii) SEM-EDS chemical analyses (oxide wt.%) of clinopyroxene and of Fe-Mg oxides spanning the magnetite–magnesioferrite join; (iv) VNIR reflectance spectra (400–2400 nm) acquired under multiple observation geometries, provided as continuum-removed spectra; and (v) the derived absorption-band parameters (band minimum, centre, depth, area, asymmetry) obtained through the two-step convex-hull continuum removal described in the supplementary methods.
