Unambiguous Spectral Evidence for High- (and Low-) Calcium Pyroxene in Asteroids and MeteoritesSeveral new S-asteroid spectra are modeled and found to contain both low- and high-calcium pyroxenes. Similar results are obtained for spectra of eucrites. Their inferred mineralogy is very consistent with petrographic results, lending confidence to the asteroid analyses. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
