Structure and Formation Mechanism of Lunar Regolith

Space: Science & Technology
Lunar regolith is a thin layer of weakly cohesive detrital materials covering the lunar surface. Studies on returned lunar samples have revealed that the lunar regolith mainly consists of fragments of rocks, minerals, breccia, glasses, and agglutinates ...

Terahertz Emission Modeling of Lunar Regolith

Remote Sensing
We investigate the terahertz (THz) scattering and emission properties of lunar regolith by modeling it as a random medium with rough top and bottom boundaries and a host medium situated beneath. The total scattering and emission arise from three sources:

Self-Organization Characteristics of Lunar Regolith Inferred by Yutu-2 Lunar Penetrating Radar

Remote Sensing, 2021
Most previous studies tend to simplify the lunar regolith as a homogeneous medium. However, the lunar regolith is not completely homogeneous, because there are weak reflections from the lunar regolith layer.
