Potential for observing geological diversity from mid-infrared spectra of rocky exoplanets
Nature Astronomy, Published online: 14 November 2024; doi:10.1038/s41550-024-02412-7
Mid-infrared emission spectra and simulated JWST observations of basaltic rocky exoplanets show that the telescope can, in theory, observe the mineralogy and chemical composition of rocky exoplanet surfaces and detect the presence of water-bearing minerals.
