Many rocky exoplanets are likely to be basaltic. Now, models of laboratory emission spectra of basaltic rocks suggest that JWST and future observatories could detect specific mineral and chemical signatures on these exoplanets. When present at high abundances, minerals indicative of rock–water interactions are particularly visible in modelled planetary flux spectra.

岩石系外行星表面的矿物和化学细节是可以检测到的


许多岩石系外行星可能是玄武岩的。现在，玄武岩的实验室发射光谱模型表明，JWST 和未来的天文台可以检测到这些系外行星上的特定矿物和化学特征。当以高丰度存在时，表明岩-水相互作用的矿物在建模的行星通量光谱中特别明显。
