Electrostatic Waves and Electron Heating Observed over Lunar Crustal Magnetic Anomalies
F. Chu, J. S. Halekas, Xin Cao +3
Above lunar crustal magnetic anomalies, large fractions of solar wind electrons and ions can be scattered and stream back towards the solar wind flow, leading to a number of intere…
