Lunar Surface Features: Mid-Infrared Spectral Observations

open access: yesScience, 1964
The moon has been observed and spectrally scanned at midinfrared wavelengths, in particular through the 16- to 24-micron atmospheric window. The data indicate that there are differences in mineral composition among several features of the lunar surface.

Spectral interpretation of late-stage mare basalt mineralogy unveiled by Chang’E-5 samples

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Laboratory spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction analyses on the Chang’E-5 lunar soil samples have demonstrated that the spectral features of lunar late-stage mare basalts are representative of iron-rich high-Ca pyroxene rather than olivine.

Morphological Features-Based Descriptive Index System for Lunar Impact Craters

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2017
Lunar impact craters are important for studying lunar surface morphology because they are the most typical morphological units of the Moon. Impact crater descriptive indices can be used to describe morphological features and thus provide direct evidence ...

Comprehensive mapping of lunar surface chemistry by adding Chang'e-5 samples with deep learning

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Lunar surface chemistry is essential for revealing petrological characteristics to understand the evolution of the Moon. Existing chemistry mapping from Apollo and Luna returned samples could only calibrate chemical features before 3.0 Gyr, missing the ...

Importance of the Lunar Cycle on Mesopelagic Foraging by Atlantic Bluefin Tuna in the Upwelling Area of the Strait of Messina (Central Mediterranean Sea)

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
The influence of the lunar cycle on bluefin tuna foraging in the upwelling area of the Strait of Messina was investigated by exploring trophic interaction with mesopelagic fish and cephalopod prey.

A Spectral Library Study of Mixtures of Common Lunar Minerals and Glass

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Reflectance spectroscopy is a powerful tool to remotely identify the mineral and chemical compositions of the lunar regolith. The lunar soils contain silicate minerals with prominent absorption features and glasses with much less distinctive spectral ...

THE RESEARCH ON LUCALIBRATION OF GF-4 SATELLITE [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2018
Starting from the lunar observation requirements of the GF-4 satellite, the main index such as the resolution, the imaging field, the reflect radiance and the imaging integration time are analyzed combined with the imaging features and parameters of this

Lunar Mare Fecunditatis: A Science-Rich Region and a Concept Mission for Long-Distance Exploration

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Mare Fecunditatis is a ~310,000 km2 flat basalt plain located in the low-latitude area of the Moon. Plenty of volcanic features (multiple episodes of mare basalts, sinuous rilles, lava tubes, pyroclastic deposits, domes, irregular mare patches (IMP ...

A New Lunar Dome Detection Method Based on Improved YOLOv7

open access: yesSensors, 2023
Volcanism is an important geological evolutionary process on the Moon. The study of lunar volcanic features is of great significance and value to understanding the geological evolution of the Moon better.

Tectonics and Seismicity of the Lunar South Polar Region

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The lunar south pole regions are subjected to global stresses that result in contractional deformation and associated seismicity. This deformation is mainly expressed by lobate thrust fault scarps; examples are globally distributed, including polar ...
