Spinels represent a small fraction of lunar surface materials but provide important insights
into the petrological evolution of the lunar crust and mantle. Previous remote sensing …

Abstract Young (< 1 Ga) craters on the Moon are known to host diverse mixtures of ejecta
with varying spectral and physical properties. In this work, we examine 13 yr of bolometric …

Far-ultraviolet (FUV) observations by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Lyman Alpha
Mapping Project (LAMP) have shown that the lunar surface reflectance in the ultraviolet is …

Ohm crater is a complex impact crater with a diameter of 64​ km, placed on the northern
side of the lunar farside. In this study, we derived Spectral Parameter maps, FeO and TiO 2 …

An extensive investigation is conducted using remote sensing and gravity datasets to
comprehend the volcanic eruptions and tectonic activity within the Aitken crater, farside of …

Aristarchus crater is a Copernican-age impact crater well known for its high-albedo ejecta
blanket and nearby flow features rich in pyroclastic materials. The Lyman Alpha Mapping …

We investigated the Raman spectroscopy of 35 rock and mineral samples of composition
relevant to the lunar surface: pyroxenes, olivine, plagioclase feldspars and oxides. The …

The occurrence of pitted impact deposits (PIDs) and widespread OH-bearing minerals on
the differentiated asteroid Vesta shows that volatiles delivered by exogenic sources play an …

One of the most distinctive features of hypervelocity impact craters, second only to their
circular topographic crater form, is the presence of ejecta deposits. Impact ejecta deposits …

The Moon remains the one of the most scientifically valuable sites in our solar system. As we
start a new age in lunar exploration, we must examine lunar surface through multiple lenses …
