“…In two contributions take a closer look at the effect of the lunar environment on the characteristics of surface materials as seen in spectra. In Hess et al [5], the authors investigate how external factors can impact spectral characteristics and address the problems of spectral unmixing without probabilistic methods. In [6], Hess et al take a closer look at the relationship between TiO 2 -bearing minerals, plagioclase, and Mg-spinel, the hydration of the surface material, and the variation over a lunar day.…”
