15. We have used the approach described in (14). Briefly, our thermal removal algorithm estimates the thermal emission as an excess signal compared with a value derived from the reflectance trend of unaffected shorter wavelengths. The thermal emission component includes an estimate of emissivity, and our procedure cannot artificially create the appearance of an absorption feature. See also (8).

21. 2O, resulting in an effective pseudostability or temporary steady state. If the regolith grains are anorthositic plagioclase, a monolayer of water on a 1-μm spherical grain would equate to a molar abundance of 0.6% and a ∼770-ppm mass fraction, given a 1/1 ratio of water molecule/ion to the anorthositic surface molecules. However, if the effective particle size of regolith grains carrying the water is larger than 1 μm, then the surface water proportion will be less.
