A Twenty Year Decline in Solar Photospheric Magnetic Fields: Inner-Heliospheric Signatures and Possible Implications?

P. Janardhan, Susanta Kumar Bisoi, S. Ananthakrishnan +4

We report observations of a steady 20 year decline of solar photospheric fields at latitudes 45 starting from 1995. This prolonged and continuing decline, combi…

Spatial heterogeneity in the radiogenic activity of the lunar interior: Inferences from CHACE and LLRI on Chandrayaan-1

R. Sridharan, Tirtha Pratim Das, S. M. Ahmed +3

In the past, clues on the potential radiogenic activity of the lunar interior have been obtained from the isotopic composition of noble gases like Argon. Excess Argon (40) relative…

Protons in the near-lunar wake observed by the Sub-keV Atom Reflection Analyzer on board Chandrayaan-1

Yoshifumi Futaana, Stas Barabash, Martin Wieser +7

Significant proton fluxes were detected in the near wake region of the Moon by an ion mass spectrometer on board Chandrayaan-1. The energy of these nightside protons is slightly hi…
