Radio Cherenkov signals from the Moon: neutrinos and cosmic rays

, 2011
Neutrino production of radio Cherenkov signals in the Moon is the object of radio telescope observations. Depending on the energy range and detection parameters, the dominant contribution to the neutrino signal may come from interactions of the neutrino ...

Scaling forces to asteroid surfaces: The role of cohesion

, 2010
The scaling of physical forces to the extremely low ambient gravitational acceleration regimes found on the surfaces of small asteroids is performed. Resulting from this, it is found that van der Waals cohesive forces between regolith grains on asteroid ...

Estimation of energy and material use of sintering-based construction for a lunar outpost - with the example of SinterHab module design [PDF]

, 2015
In this paper, we would revisit the usability of microwave for lunar regolith sintering through an in-depth experiment, and examine the minimum materials and energy required for sintering based on the SinterHab design.

Thermal Stability of Ice at Shackleton Crater: Implications for Water Ice Detection for the Chang’E-7 Mission

The Planetary Science Journal
The candidate landing region for China’s Chang’E-7 (CE-7) lunar exploration mission is near Shackleton crater at the lunar south pole, and the CE-7 mission will perform in situ detection of water ice.

The stratification of regolith on celestial objects

, 2015
All atmosphere-less planetary bodies are covered with a dust layer, the so-called regolith, which determines the optical, mechanical and thermal properties of their surface.
