Thick Lunar Crust Amplifies Deci-Hertz Gravitational-Wave Signal
Lei Zhang, Han Yan, Xian Chen +1
Gravitational waves (GWs) in the Hz band encode unique signatures of the early universe and merging compact objects, but they are beyond the reach of existing observato…
Topographic Modulation of Martian Near-Surface Winds: Insights from Perseverance Measurements and CFD Modeling in Jezero Crater
Yuhang Liu, Lei Zhang, Zhihao Shen +4
Near-surface wind fields on Mars are profoundly modulated by complex topography, yet fine-scale wind field characteristics remain poorly resolved for key geomorphological units suc…
Sculpting of Martian brain terrain reveals the drying of ancient Mars
Shenyi Zhang, Lei Zhang, Yutian Ke +1
The Martian brain terrain (MBT), characterized by its unique brain-like morphology, is a potential geological archive for finding hints of paleoclimatic conditions during its forma…
Super amplification of lunar response to gravitational waves driven by thick crust
Lei Zhang, Jinhai Zhang, Han Yan +1
The Moon has been long regarded as a natural resonator of gravitational waves (GWs) since 1960, showing great potential to fill the frequency gap left behind GW detections by groun…
Numerical simulation of lunar response to gravitational waves and its 3D topographic effect using the spectral-element method
Lei Zhang, Han Yan, Jinhai Zhang +1
The Moon has been regarded as a natural Weber bar capable of amplifying gravitational waves (GWs) for detecting events across a wide range of frequencies. However, accurately deter…
2D numerical simulation of lunar response to gravitational waves using finite element method
Lei Zhang, Han Yan, Xian Chen +1
Previous studies of the response of the Moon to gravitational waves have been carried out using analytical or semi-analytical models assuming ideal lunar structures. Such models ar…
