Flux of micrometeoroids: lunar sample analyses compared with flux model.

From an analysis of trace element abundances in lunar soils, the influx of meteoritic mass into the lunar surface has recently been estimated by Keays et al. (1) as 3.8 X 10-9 gcm-2 yr-1 and later by Ganapathy et al. (2) as 4 X 10-9 g cm-2 yr-1. I shall show in this note that these numbers are in agreement with independent estimates of the mass distribution for cometary meteoroids. Using the re...

New Lunar Sample Density and Magnetic Susceptibility Measurements

Introduction: In order to make use of the flood of data on the Moon’s gravity and topography provided by missions such as Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and GRAIL [1] to constrain our understanding of the Moon’s internal structure, we have been developing a comprehensive database of lunar rock densities and porosities [2]. This database includes contributions from both lunar meteorites and sample...
