Characterizing the near Lunar Plasma Environment
of Science Topic: The ambient plasma and solar UV incident on the lunar surface cause it to become electrically charged [1,2]. On the dayside, solar UV photocharging typically dominates, so the surface charges positive [3,4]; while on the nightside the plasma electrons usually dominate and thus the surface charges negative [5]. The resulting surface electric potential is confined to a near-surf...
متن کاملDusty Plasma Liquids
The dusty plasma liquid formed by micro-meter sized particles negatively charged and suspended in a low pressure discharge background is a good candidate to study the generic spatio-temporal dynamical behaviors at the kinetic level through direct optical video-microscopy, because of the sub-mm interparticle spacing and the slow time scale. In this paper, starting from the basic picture of the a...
متن کاملDusty Plasma Correlation Function Experiment
Dust particles immersed within a plasma environment, such as those in protostellar clouds, planetary rings or cometary environments, will acquire an electric charge. If the ratio of the inter-particle potential energy to the average kinetic energy is high enough the particles will form either a “liquid” structure with short-range ordering or a crystalline structure with long range ordering. Man...
متن کاملThe Lunar Environment
The differences between the Earth and Moon appear clearly in comparisons of their physical characteristics (Table 3.1). The Moon is indeed an alien environment. While these differences may appear to be of only academic interest, as a measure of the Moon’s “abnormality,” it is important to keep in mind that some of the differences also provide unique opportunities for using the lunar environment...
متن کاملThe lunar dust environment
Each year the Moon is bombarded by about 10 kg of interplanetary micrometeoroids of cometary and asteroidal origin. Most of these projectiles range from 10 nm to about 1 mm in size and impact the Moon at 10–72 km/s speed. They excavate lunar soil about 1000 times their own mass. These impacts leave a crater record on the surface from which the micrometeoroid size distribution has been deciphere...
