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.

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 ...

Sintering lunar regolith pellets: a comparison of four samples from Apollo 11, 15, and 16
Materials Today AdvancesLunar regolith sintering is proposed as a technique to produce consolidated objects on the lunar surface from locally sourced materials. Understanding the sintering behaviour of real lunar regolith is necessary to optimise this process, however, due to ...

Thin regolith layer anticipated on the surface of the Tianwen-2 target asteroid (469219) Kamo‘oalewa
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. Near-Earth asteroid (469219) Kamo‘oalewa is the first target of the ongoing Tianwen-2 sample-return mission. Ground-based observations measured its rotation period at only about 28 minutes, while the low thermal inertia value (Γ = 150 or 181 J m−

Solar wind erosion of lunar regolith is suppressed by surface morphology and regolith properties
Communications Earth & EnvironmentAbstract Important aspects concerning the origin and formation of the Moon’s exosphere, its tenuous gas envelope, remain puzzling with uncertainties regarding the importance of different effects. Two competing processes — micrometeoroid impact vaporization and solar wind ion sputtering — are considered key contributors to the ejection of ...
