Lunar surface magnetic fields and their interaction with the solar wind: results from lunar prospector
The magnetometer and electron reflectometer experiment on the Lunar Prospector spacecraft has obtained maps of lunar crustal magnetic fields and observed the interaction between the solar wind and regions of strong crustal magnetic fields at high selenographic latitude (30 degreesS to 80 degreesS) and low ( approximately 100 kilometers) altitude. Electron reflection maps of the regions antipoda...
متن کاملImproved Modeling of Lunar Prospector Neutron Spectrometer Data: Implications for Hydrogen Content at Lunar Poles
Introduction: In recent years, a number of studies [1,2,3] have been published using data from the Lunar Prospector Neutron Spectrometer (LP-NS) to identify and quantify anomalously high hydrogen abundances near the poles of the Moon, which may be in the form of water ice. If water ice is indeed present at the lunar poles in high enough abundance, this could provide a critical resource for futu...
متن کاملLunar Prospector: overview.
Lunar Prospector is providing a global map of the composition of the moon and analyzing the moon's gravity and magnetic fields. It has been in a polar orbit around the moon since 16 January 1998. Neutron flux data show that there is abundant H, and hence probably abundant water ice, in the lunar polar regions. Gamma-ray and neutron data reveal the distribution of Fe, Ti, and other major and tra...
متن کاملMagnesian Rock Types in the Lunar Highlands: Remote Sensing Using Data from Lunar Prospector and Clementine
Introduction: Several types of magnesian highlands rocks occur in the lunar samples including the mafic Mg-suite rocks, magnesian feldpathic granulites, and magnesian anorthosites. Some mafic magnesian rocks are easily accommodated into the magma ocean model, as large variations in Mg/Fe are expected as the magma ocean crystallizes, forming source regions for magnesian melts. The origin of othe...
