Journal ArticleDOI
Lunar global shape and polar topography derived from Kaguya-LALT laser altimetry.
Hiroshi Araki,Seiichi Tazawa,Hirotomo Noda,Yoshiaki Ishihara,Sander Goossens,Sho Sasaki,Nobuyuki Kawano,Izumi Kamiya,Hisashi Otake,Juergen Oberst,C. K. Shum +10 more
TL;DR: A global lunar topographic map with a spatial resolution of finer than 0.5 degree has been derived using data from the laser altimeter on board the Japanese lunar explorer Selenological and Engineering Explorer (SELENE or Kaguya), which reveals unbiased lunar topography for scales finer than a few hundred kilometers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Farside Gravity Field of the Moon from Four-Way Doppler Measurements of SELENE (Kaguya)
Noriyuki Namiki,Takahiro Iwata,Koji Matsumoto,Hideo Hanada,Hirotomo Noda,Sander Goossens,Mina Ogawa,Nobuyuki Kawano,Kazuyoshi Asari,Seiitsu Tsuruta,Yoshiaki Ishihara,Qinghui Liu,Fuyuhiko Kikuchi,Toshiaki Ishikawa,Sho Sasaki,Chiaki Aoshima,Kosuke Kurosawa,Seiji Sugita,Tadashi Takano +18 more
TL;DR: The farside gravity field of the Moon is improved from the tracking data of the Selenological and Engineering Explorer via a relay subsatellite, revealing that the farsides has negative anomaly rings unlike positive anomalies on the nearside.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crustal thickness of the Moon: Implications for farside basin structures
Yoshiaki Ishihara,Sander Goossens,Koji Matsumoto,Hirotomo Noda,Hiroshi Araki,Noriyuki Namiki,Hideo Hanada,Takahiro Iwata,Seiichi Tazawa,Sho Sasaki +9 more
TL;DR: Based on the latest SELENE lunar gravity and topography model obtained by Kaguya mission, the authors compute the lunar crustal thickness map to investigate differences between farside basin structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
An improved lunar gravity field model from SELENE and historical tracking data: Revealing the farside gravity features

TL;DR: In this paper, a spherical harmonic solution of the lunar gravity field to degree and order 100, called SGM100h, was developed using historical tracking data and 14.2 months of SELENE tracking data (from 20 October 2007 to 26 December 2008 plus 30 January 2009).

TL;DR: Thermal imaging data obtained from the spacecraft Hayabusa2 reveal that the carbonaceous asteroid 162173 Ryugu is an object of unusually high porosity, which constrain the formation history of Ryugu.
