Fluxes of fast and epithermal neutrons from Lunar Prospector: evidence for water ice at the lunar poles.

TL;DR: Maps of epithermal- and fast-neutron fluxes measured by Lunar Prospector were used to search for deposits enriched in hydrogen at both lunar poles, and data are consistent with deposits of hydrogen in the form of water ice that are covered by as much as 40 centimeters of desiccated regolith within permanently shaded craters near both poles.

Global Elemental Maps of the Moon: The Lunar Prospector Gamma-Ray Spectrometer

TL;DR: Lunar Prospector gamma-ray spectrometer spectra along with counting rate maps of thorium, potassium, and iron delineate large compositional variations over the lunar surface.

Evidence of water ice near the lunar poles

TL;DR: Improved versions of Lunar Prospector thermal and epithermal neutron data were studied to help discriminate between potential delivery and retention mechanisms for hydrogen on the Moon as discussed by the authors, and they concluded that a significant portion of the enhanced hydrogen near both poles is most likely in the form of water molecules.

Evidence for water ice near the lunar poles

TL;DR: Improved versions of Lunar Prospector thermal and epithermal neutron data were studied to help discriminate between potential delivery and retention mechanisms for hydrogen on the Moon as mentioned in this paper, and they concluded that a significant portion of the enhanced hydrogen near both poles is most likely in the form of water molecules.

Iron abundances on the lunar surface as measured by the Lunar Prospector gamma‐ray and neutron spectrometers

TL;DR: In this article, the relative iron abundances from the low-altitude, high spatial resolution (∼(45 km) 2 ) LP data using the 7.6 MeV neutron capture gamma-ray doublet were derived.
