Impact of Infrared Lunar Laser Ranging on Lunar Dynamics

2016
Since 2015, in addition to the traditional green (532nm), infrared (1064nm) has been the preferred wavelength for lunar laser ranging at the Calern lunar laser ranging (LLR) site in France. Due to the better atmospheric transmission of IR with respect to Green, nearly 3 times the number of normal points have been obtained in IR than in Green [ C.Courde

Lunar Impact Observation Programs

2009
As discussed in the Introduction, the Leonid meteor shower of 18 November 1999 produced the first independently confirmed observations and recordings of meteor impacts on the Moon. A number of attempts have been made previously to observe and document lunar meteor impacts, but none have produced scientifically confirmed observations from two or more ...

Impact Related Shock on the Lunar Surface and the Lunar Paleomagnetic Record

2013
The work of Baldwin and others discussed in Chap. 2 had shown that the craters and basins of the moon were the result of giant impacts, which must have generated large shock waves over considerable volumes. Could these shock effects, or possible magnetic fields generated in the events, explain the remanent magnetism (NRM) of the lunar samples?

Ion precipitation of the lunar surface and its impact on the lunar environment

Impacts of solar wind (SW) ions on the Moon contribute to surface hydration, alteration of the lunar surface via space weathering and the emission of atoms into the exosphere via sputtering [1]. Furthermore, scattering of SW protons as H+, H0 (energetic neutral atoms, ENAs) and recently as H- have allowed direct in-situ observations of ion impacts on ...

Infrared Lunar Laser Ranging at Calern: Impact on Lunar Dynamics

2017
LLR in IR (1064nm) gives an improvement in the temporal and spatial distribution of observations. Estimates of the lunar core using IR data will be presented.
