Current Theories of Lunar Ice
Norbert Schorghofer
The classical theory of cold-trapped ice on the Moon and some modern theories are reviewed and compared with observational constraints. The "standard model" for lunar ice posits th…
Erosion of volatiles by micro-meteoroid bombardment on Ceres, and comparison to the Moon and Mercury
Petr Pokorný, Erwan Mazarico, Norbert Schorghofer
(1) Ceres, the largest reservoir of water in the main-belt, was recently visited by the Dawn spacecraft that revealed several areas bearing HO-ice features. Independent telesco…
Micro Cold Traps on the Moon
Paul O. Hayne, Oded Aharonson, Norbert Schörghofer
Water ice is thought to be trapped in large permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) in the Moon's polar regions, due to their extremely low temperatures. Here, we show that many unmapp…
Dynamic and Isotopic Evolution of Ice Reservoirs on Mars
Eran Vos, Oded Aharonson, Norbert Schorghofer
The layered polar caps of Mars have long been thought to be related to variations in orbit and axial tilt. We dynamically link Mars's past climate variations with the stratigraphy…
Spectrophotometric Modeling and Mapping of Ceres
Jian-Yang Li, Stefan E. Schröder, Stefano Mottola +8
We report a comprehensive analysis of the global spectrophotometric properties of Ceres using Dawn Framing Camera images collected from April to June 2015 during the RC3 and Survey…
Thermodynamics of Surface-Bounded Exospheres
Norbert Schorghofer
Neutral exospheres of the Moon, Mercury, and several other solar system bodies consist of particles on ballistic trajectories. Here, the vertical density profile of a surface-bound…
