Astromineralogy deals with the science of gathering mineralogical
information from the astronomical spectroscopy of asteroids, comets
and dust in the circumstellar environments in general. This field
has received a tremendous boost with the reliable identification of
minerals by the Infrared Space Observatory. The first edition of
this book, published in 2003, was the first comprehensive and
coherent account of this exciting field. Data obtained in the
meantime with the Spitzer Infrared Space Telescope, the stardust
mission to the comet 81P / Wild 2, and with the Cassini mission,
together with progress in ground-based observations and laboratory
astrophysics form the basis for this updated and widely extended
second edition.Beyond addressing the specialist in the field, the
book is intended as a high-level but readable introduction to
astromineralogy for both the nonspecialist researcher and the
advanced student.
