Herein we demonstrate a methodology for measuring optical pyrometry in environments which are disadvantageous for typical pyrometery applications by introducing additional fit parameters to account for absorption or emission which convolutes the thermal spectrum. Emission spectra from a plastic-bonded formulation of triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB) shocked by 2-4 km s-1 impacts with Al flyer plates show significant deviations from graybody behavior. To extract reliable temperatures via optical pyrometry, we fit the spectra to a combination of a graybody and either a Gaussian absorption or emission spectrum. We found that the absorption needed to fit the data corresponds well with the known pressure-dependent absorption of TATB, and that the absorption model gives temperatures and emissivities in line with other explosives. By contrast, emission gives temperatures too low and emissivities that decrease as more material reacts. We conclude the nonthermal part of the spectrum is dominated by the absorption of unreacted TATB, and accurate pyrometry of TATB must use either our graybody plus absorption model or must limit the spectral range of observation to above 650 nm.
