The lunar mascon basins are characterized by high gravity anomalies and thin crust. Study
of the density structure beneath the mascon basins can help to understand the origin of …

An efficient forward modeling algorithm for calculation of gravitational fields in spherical
coordinates is developed for 3‐D large‐scale gravity inversion problems. The 3‐D Gauss …

High-resolution gravity data from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory spacecraft
have clarified the origin of lunar mass concentrations (mascons). Free-air gravity anomalies …

Three-dimensional gravity inversion has been widely used to infer density structures and
tectonic movements of the earth and Moon. However, two problems (the nonuniqueness and …

New lunar gravity and topography data from the Clementine Mission provide a global
Bouguer anomaly map corrected for the gravitational attraction of mare fill in mascon basins …

We use gravity data from NASA's GRAIL mission to characterize the porosity structure of the
upper lunar crust. We analyze the gravitational anomalies produced by the porosity of …

A lunar crust‐to‐core mass model for the region±64° latitude was developed using gravity
components evaluated from available spherical harmonic gravity and topographic field …

Positive free‐air gravity anomalies associated with large lunar impact basins represent a
superisostatic mass concentration or “mascon.” High‐resolution lunar gravity data from the …

Lateral variations in bulk density and porosity of the upper lunar highland crust are mapped
using a high‐resolution Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) gravity field model …

We present a method to determine local gravity fields for the Moon using Gravity Recovery
and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) data. We express gravity as gridded gravity anomalies on a …
