Requests & Submissions
At this time, we are archiving data products
acquired by our group and E. Keppel from 2000-2005, namely
room temperature laboratory absorbance, reflectance, and
transmittance spectra in the mid- and far-IR wavelength regimes
for over 100 minerals and their polytypes, as well as simple
chemical compounds relevant to interstellar dust (fullerenes, etc.).
Optical constants (n & k) are also available for a subset of these
laboratory spectra. Currently, we are in the process of acquiring
and archiving similar data products for new mineral samples and
measuring the existing materials at low temperatures.
To request a particular "in stock" unpublished
spectral product that is not hyperlinked in our archive, please
complete our IDALS Feedback Form or
e-mail the webmaster with the
name of the material (including polytype), wavelength regime of
interest, and type of product requested (absorbance, reflectance,
transmittance, optical constants). This database exists to serve
the astrophysics community; we welcome inquiries regarding our
methodology as well as requests for new minerals to add to
this collection which might be relevant to your work.
To submit your own mid- to far-IR spectra or optical
constants to this database, please send data files with detailed
information to properly reference the source and methods used to the
webmaster.
