The Global Distribution of Water and Hydroxyl on the Moon as Seen by the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3)

The Planetary Science Journal
The Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M ^3 ) on the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft provided nearly global 0.5–3 μ m imaging-spectroscopy data at 140 m pixel ^–1 in 85 spectral bands. Targeted locations were imaged at 70 m pixel ^–1 and higher spectral resolution.

Long-Wave Infrared Multispectral Imager for Lunar Remote Sensing: Optical Design and Performance Evaluation

Photonics
High-resolution long-wave infrared imaging is critical for lunar mineralogy. However, it must balance a large FOV, a small F-number, chromatic aberration correction, optical efficiency, and system compactness.

Does the Lunar Cycle Affect Birth and Deaths? [PDF]

There is a commonplace notion that full moons affect natality and mortality. To test this theory, we obtain daily births and deaths data from Australia, covering all 10,592 days from 1 January 1975 to 31 December 2003.

Spatial–Spectral Fusion 3D Signal Compensation for Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) Hyperspectral Images in Low-Signal Lunar Polar Regions

Remote Sensing
Hyperspectral images (HSIs) from the lunar polar regions are frequently compromised by low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) under adverse illumination, limiting their utility for scientific analysis.

Magnetic Mineralogy in Lunar Mare Basalts and Implications for Paleointensity Retrieval

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets
Abstract Lunar paleomagnetic studies have identified multidomain metallic Fe–Ni alloys as the dominant magnetic contributors in mare basalts. Here, we explore the low‐temperature magnetic behavior of standard samples for a suite of opaque minerals that occur within mare basalts (single‐domain and multidomain Fe, wüstite, ulvöspinel ...

Using Machine Learning for Lunar Mineralogy-I: Hyperspectral Imaging of Volcanic Samples

Universe
This study examines the mineral composition of volcanic samples similar to lunar materials, focusing on olivine and pyroxene. Using hyperspectral imaging (HSI) from 400 to 1000 nm, we created data cubes to analyze reflectance characteristics of samples from Italy’s Vulcano region, categorizing them into nine regions of interest (ROIs) and ...

An Integrated Framework for Global Detection and Quantification of Lunar Pyroclastic Deposits

The Planetary Science Journal
Lunar pyroclastic deposits (LPDs) composed of Fe–Ti-bearing volcanic glasses are considered one of the best proxies to understand the primitive lunar mantle composition.
