Laboratory Study of Dust Mobilization on Airless Planetary Bodies in the Solar Wind Plasma

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Dust charging, and the subsequent mobilization and transport, have been suggested to explain a number of unresolved and unusual features observed on airless planetary surfaces.

Survivability of Amino Acids in Lunar Soil

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
We present a laboratory investigation on the survivability of amino acids in lunar simulant soil under conditions similar to the lunar surface. Survival rates of various amino acids are quantified using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography in ...

Similar Topography and Crater Retention Record yet Divergent Space Weathering Extents across Reiner Gamma on the Moon

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Electrostatic levitation and migration of charged dust may occur during the formation of lunar swirls. Due to interaction between crustal magnetic anomalies and solar wind, immature fine-grained particles are predicted to preferentially migrate to bright

Surface Roughness at the Moon’s South Pole: The Influence of Condensed Volatiles on Surface Roughness at the Moon’s South Pole

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Condensed volatiles within lunar permanently shadowed regions are of high scientific and resource utilization importance. Volatiles remain elusive and difficult to observe directly, due to low direct solar illumination.

Revisiting lunar dust charging and dynamics

open access: yesPhysics of Plasmas
Under the dynamic influence of near-surface plasma, intricate dynamics of lunar dust have been observed during the Surveyors and Apollo missions in the form of Lunar horizontal glow. These dynamics are primarily driven by electrostatic forces generated by the continual bombardment of solar wind and highly energetic UV photons on the lunar surface and ...
