Regolith-atmosphere exchange of water in Mars' recent past [PDF]
, 2017 We investigate the exchange of water vapour between the regolith and atmosphere of Mars, and how it varies with different orbital parameters, atmospheric dust contents and surface water ice reservoirs.

The collisional evolution of undifferentiated asteroids and the formation of chondritic meteoroids [PDF]
, 2016 Most meteorites are fragments from recent collisions experienced in the asteroid belt. In such a hyper-velocity collision, the smaller collision partner is destroyed, whereas a crater on the asteroid is formed or it is entirely disrupted, too.

Vapor Deposits in the Lunar Regolith [PDF]
Science, 1994 Since the Apollo missions, we have emphasized the following points, which are based on theoretical calculations and on laboratory studies of the properties of evaporated silicate deposits and of lunar samples. The mass of vapor generated by impacts on the lunar surface is comparable in magnitude to the mass of impact melt glasses; the physics of impact

Effect of Target Properties on Regolith Production
Remote SensingBased on the measurements of regolith thicknesses on the lunar maria (basalts), the lunar regolith was determined to have accumulated at a rate of about 1 m/Gyr since the era of the late heavy bombardment.

Making parts on Mars: Laser processing of iron contaminated by regolith simulant
Materials Today AdvancesManufacturing pure metals on Mars is challenging due to limited energy resources and unavoidable contamination of raw materials and production equipment with the Martian dust (regolith) resulting in impure materials.

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.

Deep dielectric charging of regolith within the Moon\u27s permanently shadowed regions [PDF]
, 2014 Energetic charged particles, such as galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) and solar energetic particles (SEPs), can penetrate deep within the lunar surface, resulting in deep dielectric charging.

Structure and Formation Mechanism of Lunar Regolith
Space: Science & TechnologyLunar 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 ...
