Space-weathered rims on lunar ilmenite as an indicator for relative exposure ages of regolith
Communications Earth & EnvironmentSolar wind irradiation, as a crucial space weathering mechanism, alters the microscopic characteristics and reflectance spectrum of the lunar regolith, and its cumulative effect is strongly related to the exposure time.
