Transient Lunar Phenomena: Regularity and Reality
Transient lunar phenomena (TLPs) have been reported for centuries, but their nature is largely unsettled, and even their existence as a coherent phenomenon is still controversial. Nonetheless, a review of TLP data shows regularities in the observations; a key question is whether this structure is imposed by human observer effects, terrestrial atmospheric effects or processes tied to the lunar s...
متن کاملPreliminary Analysis of Transient Lunar Phenomena Catalog Data
Introduction: With recent interest in Transient Lunar Phenomena (TLP) and lunar out-gassing theories [1-3], the TLP catalogs of Middlehurst [4] and Cameron [5] are frequently quoted in references. However there are many issues that affect the quality of TLP reports and observer interpretation of the Moon’s surface, which may not be appreciated fully. Therefore as part of collaboration between A...
متن کاملLunar Outgassing, Transient Phenomena and The Return to The Moon III: Observational and Experimental Techniques
In Paper I of this series, we show that transient lunar phenomena (TLPs) correlate with lunar outgassing, geographically, based on surface radon release episodes versus the visual record of telescopic observers (the later prone to major systematic biases of unspecified nature, which we were able to constrain in Paper I). In Paper II we calculate some of the basic predictions that this insight i...
متن کاملLunar Outgassing, Transient Phenomena and The Return to The Moon, I: Existing Data
Transient lunar phenomena (TLPs) have been reported for centuries, but their nature is largely unsettled and remains controversial. In this Paper I the database of TLP reports is subjected to a discriminating statistical filter robust against sites of spurious reports, and produces a restricted sample that may be largely reliable. This subset is highly correlated geographically with the catalog...
متن کاملTransient Phenomena
The SKA's design is driven by the needs of cutting-edge radio astronomy for sensitivity and spacial resolution. However its design is also driven by the desire to explore the transient radio Universe. In addition to pulsars, the SKA will be able to carry out high time resolution observations of several classes of known and predicted transient sources. Here we consider a selection of them, and d...
