Sample spectra from Aristarchus crater central peak and olivine-bearing rim deposit from LAMP FUV spectra (left) and M3 NIR spectra (right). FUV and visible electronic transitions are higher energy and affected by quantum mechanically derived selection rules, species of ion/atoms, and the symmetry of the E-field the atoms experience. NIR vibrational transitions are affected by the composition, atomic structure, and nearest neighbor/next neighbor chemistry.
