Journal ArticleDOI
Character and Spatial Distribution of OH/H2O on the Surface of the Moon Seen by M3 on Chandrayaan-1
Carle M. Pieters,J. N. Goswami,J. N. Goswami,Roger N. Clark,M. Annadurai,Joseph W. Boardman,Bonnie J. Buratti,J. P. Combe,M. D. Dyar,Robert O. Green,James W. Head,Charles A. Hibbitts,Michael D. Hicks,Peter J. Isaacson,Rachel L. Klima,Georgiana Y. Kramer,S. Kumar,E. Livo,S. Lundeen,Erick Malaret,T. B. McCord,John F. Mustard,J. Nettles,Noah E. Petro,C. Runyon,M. Staid,Jessica M. Sunshine,Lawrence A. Taylor,Stefanie Tompkins,P. Varanasi +29 more
TL;DR: Analysis of recent infrared mapping by Chandrayaan-1 and Deep Impact, and reexamining Cassini data obtained during its early flyby of the Moon, Pieters et al. reveal a noticeable absorption signal for H2O and OH across much of the surface, implying that solar wind is depositing and/or somehow forming water and OH in minerals near the lunar surface, and that this trapped water is dynamic.

Carle M. Pieters,Joseph W. Boardman,Bonnie J. Buratti,Alok Chatterjee,Roger N. Clark,Tom Glavich,Robert O. Green,James W. Head,Peter J. Isaacson,Erick Malaret,Thomas B. McCord,John F. Mustard,Noah E. Petro,C. Runyon,M. Staid,Jessica M. Sunshine,Lawrence A. Taylor,Stefanie Tompkins,Padma Varanasi,Mary White +19 more
TL;DR: M 3 as mentioned in this paper is an imaging spectrometer that operates from the visible into the near-infrared (0.42-3.0 μm) where highly diagnostic mineral absorption bands occur.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whitten +26 more
TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution compositional data from Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) for the Moscoviense region on the lunar farside reveal three unusual, but distinctive, rock types along the inner basin ring.
Journal ArticleDOI
