The lunar soils contain silicate minerals with prominent absorption features and glasses with much less distinctive spectral features. The accuracy of mineral abundance retrieval may be affected by the presence of glasses. In this work, we construct a spectral library of mixtures of major lunar-type minerals and synthetic glasses with varying relative abundances and test their performance on mineral abundance retrievals. By matching the library spectra with the spectra of mineral mixtures with known abundances, we found that the accuracy of mineral abundance retrieval can be improved by including glass as an endmember. Although our method cannot identify the abundance of glasses quantitatively, the presence or absence of glasses in the mixtures can be decisively determined.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15082195","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,21]],"date-time":"2023-04-21T04:48:11Z","timestamp":1682052491000},"page":"2195","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A Spectral Library Study of Mixtures of Common Lunar Minerals and Glass"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Xiaoyi","family":"Hu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Planetary Science Institute, School of Earth Sciences, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"},{"name":"Institute of Seismology, China Earthquake Administration, Wuhan 430071, China"}]},{"given":"Te","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Planetary Science Institute, School of Earth Sciences, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}]},{"given":"Pei","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Planetary Science Institute, School of Earth Sciences, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Planetary Science Institute, School of Earth Sciences, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"},{"name":"CAS Center for Excellence in Comparative Planetology, Hefei 230026, China"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Lucey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI 96822, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8758-8243","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Menghua","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Lunar and Planetary Sciences, Macau University of Science and Technology, Macau 999078, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"E08003","DOI":"10.1029\/2005JE002661","article-title":"Radiative transfer modeling of the effect of mineralogy on some empirical methods for estimating iron concentration from multispectral imaging of the moon","volume":"111","author":"Lucey","year":"2006","journal-title":"J.
