Abstract
⺠We use thermal infrared spectra to investigate the composition of Phobos' surface. ⺠No class of chondritic meteorites is in agreement with the observed features. ⺠We detected phyllosilicates, particularly in the area northeast of Stickney. ⺠Our derived surface temperatures are consistent with previous results. ⺠Currently, the most likely scenario is the in-situ formation of Phobos.
