Polarization Changes in Lunar Simulant Soil: The Role of Incident, Reflection, and Off‐Plane Angles

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Observing the polarization of the lunar regolith is essential for obtaining detailed information about the composition and characteristics of lunar soil. Observations conducted via lunar orbiters facilitate polarization measurements over wide areas; however, achieving very high‐resolution imaging requires either a large optical system or a ...

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 ...

Geochemical Disequilibrium at the Brittle‐Ductile Transition

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract We investigate the microtextural, microchemical, and isotopic effects of late‐stage ductile deformation in quartzite mylonites and kyanite–muscovite–quartz veins from the Raft River shear zone (Utah). Quartz microstructures record pervasive disequilibrium, expressed by unannealed features including undulatory extinction, deformation lamellae ...

Radiation Exposure and Shielding Effects on the Lunar Surface

Space Weather
The Moon will be a primary target for human space exploration in the near future. A limiting factor for a crewed mission to the Moon is the radiation dose during their stay on the lunar surface.

Determination of the Dynamic Angle of Repose of Lunar Regolith Simulants

Geosciences
The determination of the dynamic angle of repose (DAR) of lunar regolith simulants is essential for modeling material behavior during in situ resource utilization (ISRU) processes and lunar surface operations.

Modeling Ganymede's Surface Charging in Preparation for the JUICE Mission

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The European Space Agency's (ESA) JUICE mission (JUpiter ICy moons Explorer) is en route to the Jovian system to characterize Ganymede's subsurface ocean. Determining the ocean's conductivity and depth requires precise measurements of its induced magnetic field at the position of JUICE.

Deciphering the “Missing Xenon Paradox” in Celestial Bodies: A Multifaceted Perspective Toward Demystifying This Enigma

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Xenon (Xe) is a heavy noble gas with intriguing chemical properties, such as having several stable isotopes and the ability to form compounds under extreme conditions. Despite the predictions based on cosmochemical models that suggest xenon should be relatively abundant in planetary reservoirs, empirical data indicate a significant depletion ...
