متن کاملLunar interior properties from the GRAIL mission
The Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission has sampled lunar gravity with unprecedented accuracy and resolution. The lunar GM, the product of the gravitational constant G and the massM, is very well determined. However, uncertainties in the mass and mean density, 3345.56±0.40 kg/m, are limited by the accuracy of G. Values of the spherical harmonic degree-2 gravity coefficients...
متن کاملQuantitative Mapping of Hydration in Lunar Pyroclastic Deposits: Insights into Water from the Lunar Interior
Introduction: Pyroclastic deposits on the Moon represent early lunar volcanic processes [1], and models of explosive volcanism indicate that the range of pyroclastic deposits is proportional to volatile content [2]. Therefore, the distribution of lunar pyroclastic deposits and their estimated water content can provide indirect information on the distribution of volatiles in magma source regions...
متن کاملStandardization of Radioactive Sources
INTRODUCTION Primary standards of radioactivity are in some ways, analogous to fixed points in the temperature scale in that each can be used for comparison with "unknowns" not too far removed from the standard. Over a thousand radioactive species are known to exist, but only a comparatively few satisfy such basic requirements for primary standards as: known decay scheme; appropriate half life ...
متن کاملTracking secular changes in the “water” content of lunar interior using basaltic lunar meteorites
Lunar meteorites provide a wider sampling of the lunar surface compared to the samples collected during the Apollo and Luna Missions. Apatite is the main hydroxyl-bearing (proxy for water) mineral in lunar samples, especially in basaltic rocks. Apatite is also amenable to in-situ U-Pb age dating studies. The ages of lunar basaltic meteorites also span over a larger range compared to basaltic sa...
