Please select the meta-file, if you have it, to auto fill the form below:

Sample information
The name of the sample.
(for ex.: MWA 4743)
This corresponds to the type of meteorite, or the nature of sample.
(for ex.: Unbrecciated basaltic meteorite)
The main mineral composition, in short version, with the proportions if known.
Where the sample has been found or where the spectrum has been taken.
(for ex.: Moon)
The visual aspect of the sample.
The name or accronym of the mission, in case of in-situ measurements.
(for ex.: Apollo 12)
The mass of the sample that has been measured.
(for ex.: 0.412)
The type of sample, for example 'regolith' or 'whole rock'.
Here, please write any additional information on the sample you might have that could not fit in the other fields, for example, the origin, the full XRD, etc...

*: required

Spectrum meta-data and datafile
The type of data.
Title of the spectrum that will appear in the search results.
designation
'A' to 'C' quality quote to evaluate the quality of the data.
The date when the spectrum has been taken, in the format YYYY-MM-DD.
The spectral unit of the data.
The intensity unit of the data.
Wavelength of the excitation laser.
Power of the excitation laser that receive the sample.
Spot size of the excitation laser that illuminate the sample (diameter).
Diameter of the detected spot.
Spectral resolution, in the chosen spectral unit.
Has the continuum been subtracted?
Continuum subtraction method used.
The name of the spectrometer.
Sampling interval, in the chosen spectral unit. If homogeneous, only the first value is required. If the sampling interval is linear, the two fields correspond to the min and borders of the spectrum.
Integration time.
Number of averaged spectra.
Is the linearity corrected? If any doubt, please leave it on "unknown".
Is there a dark compensate? If any doubt, please leave it on "unknown".
Is the dark corrected? If any doubt, please leave it on "unknown".
Here, please write any additional information on the spectrum you might have that could not fit in the other fields.
