Absorption coefficient of polystyrene
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
The surfaces of airless bodies in the Solar System are continuously altered by the bombardment of micrometeoroids and irradiation by solar wind, flares, and cosmic particles.
Description
Major effects of this process - space weathering - are darkening and "reddening" of the spectra of surface materials, as well as a "degrading" of absorption features. We studied the changes induced by energetic ion irradiation in the ultraviolet-visual-near-infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) (0.2-0.98um) reflectance spectra of targets selected to mimic the surfaces of airless bodies in the inner Solar System.
Our chosen targets are olivine pellets, pure or covered by an organic polymer (polystyrene), which is transparent before irradiation. Polystyrene is used as a template for organic matter of low volatility that can be present on asteroidal surfaces. Moreover we measured the changes induced by ion irradiation in the absorption coefficient of the polymer.

The purpose was to have a tool to better compare laboratory with observed spectra and distinguish between planetary objects with pure silicate surfaces and those whose surface is covered by organic matter exposed to cosmic ion bombardment.
