Description

This dataset contains hyperspectral EELS and EDS data for two pyroxene grains from Apollo 17 soil 71501 as well as iron oxidation state standards used in the original article "Detection of ferric iron in an exsolved lunar pyroxene using electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS): Implications for space weathering and redox conditions on the Moon" by Brittany Cymes, Katherine Burgess, and Rhonda Stroud. (doi: 10.1111/maps.13941). The purpose of this dataset is to document chemical characteristics of lunar pyroxenes that can be used to interpret conditions of formation and evaluate chemical changes resultant from the process of space weathering.
