My team and I are not just identifying pure compounds but we're also seeing how those absorptions change as a function of temperature and mixing materials together.

It's interesting to look at different wavelengths because molecules will absorb light at very specific wavelengths, and those absorptions are unique to specific compositions, such as water.

There are still some observations that have absorptions that are not identified.

By looking for particular telltale absorptions, we can tell what minerals are on the surface.

Mixing different materials together can shift where the absorptions are, sometimes making them stronger or weaker, making them go away, or making new absorptions appear.

What you find in the atmosphere to lower wavelengths is mostly rotational absorptions of water vapor.
