Zusammenfassung |
Evidence of discoveries involved with lunar water (e.g., polar ice and OH−/H2O) has been
observed in recent years. The dynamic H2O loss and rehydration cycle over a lunar day
indicated solar wind hydrogen should be an important source of lunar surface water. In this
study, we investigate the influence of the Earth’s magnetosphere on the formation of the lunar
surface hydration. Based on Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3)data onboard Chandrayaan-1,
we perform a statistical study of the lunar hydration distribution at high latitude regions. The
lunar surface hydration is closely related to the solar illumination condition, indicating higher
abundance varies with the lunar terminator which is consistent with the Deep Impact
observation. When the Moon enter into the Earth’s magnetosphere, the lunar surface
hydration can also be formed and the magnitudes are of the same order inside/outside
magnetotail. Nevertheless, further work need to be done to study the physical mechanism. |
