Mastcam (_M) and ChemCam (_CC) Spectral Band Parameter Calculations
| Symbol | Description | Calculation |
|---|---|---|
| BD527_M | 527 nm band depth (446 to 676 nm continuum) | BD527 = 1 − (R*527/continuum) |
| Continuum = 0.648 × R*446 + 0.352 × R*676 | ||
| BD867_M | 867 nm band depth (751 to 1,012 nm continuum) | BD867 = 1 − (R*867/continuum) |
| Continuum = 0.556 × R*751 + 0.444 × R*1012 | ||
| RB_M | Slope of red absorption edge (676 to 446 nm ratio) | RB = R*676/R*446 |
| BD535_CC | 535 nm band depth (500 to 600 nm continuum) | BD535 = 1 − (R535/continuum) |
| Continuum = 0.65 × R500 + 0.35 × R600 | ||
| RB_CC | Slope of red absorption edge (670 to 440 nm ratio) |
RB = R670/R440 |
| S7584_CC | 750 to 840 nm slope | S7584 = (R840 − R750)/(840–750) |
