Hendrix IUE asteroid reflectance spectra V1.0

Currently several of the existing UV datasets are not in the PDS and are unavailable for scientific use by the broad community; others are available only in their raw form. Because UV wavelengths deliver critical access to the uppermost layers of the regoliths of these airless bodies, and can often offer unique compositional information, providing these data in one location will allow for comparative studies over wider ranges of wavelengths, studies of compositional and space weathering effects throughout the solar system, and the often numerous observations of each body will allow for the study of possible temporal and spatial variability.

This archive includes derived International Ultraviolet Observer (IUE) reflectance spectra for five asteroid targets.
