Discovery of a Lunar Cold Spot at Apollo 16's South Ray Crater
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.Abstract Lunar cold spots are extensive, ray‐like regions of reduced nighttime temperature surrounding young impact craters. Using improved Diviner temperature maps, we identify a faint cold spot surrounding South Ray crater at the Apollo 16 landing site.

Photometry of Lunar Swirls in Comparison to Fresh Crater Ejecta
The Planetary Science JournalSwirls are sinuous high-reflectance lunar surface features collocated with crustal magnetic anomalies. These bright features and their geographical relationship to magnetic anomalies have been studied for decades, although their cause remains unclear ...

Earth Wind‐Driven Formation of Hematite on the Lunar Surface
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 17, 16 September 2025.Abstract The recent discovery of hematite (Fe2O3 ${\text{Fe}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{3}$) in lunar high‐latitude regions challenges the notion that the Moon exists in a reduced state. However, the origin of hematite remains unclear. We conducted irradiation experiments using 10 keV O2+ ${\mathrm{O}}_{2}^{+}$ and H2+ ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}^{+}$ ions on Fe‐bearing ...

The charge state of electrostatically transported dust on regolith surfaces
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 The charge state of dust particles on regolith surfaces exposed to ultraviolet radiation or plasma is investigated for understanding the role of electrostatic dust transport in the surface evolution of airless planetary bodies.
