Characteristics of proton velocity distribution functions in the near-lunar wake from Chandrayaan-1/SWIM observations
M B Dhanya, Anil Bhardwaj, Yoshifumi Futaana +5
Due to the high absorption of solar wind plasma on the lunar dayside, a large scale wake structure is formed downstream of the Moon. However, recent in-situ observations have revea…

Proton entry into the near-lunar plasma wake for magnetic field aligned flow
M. B. Dhanya, Anil Bhardwaj, Y. Futaana +7
We report the first observation of protons in the near (100--200 km from surface) and deeper (near anti-subsolar point) lunar plasma wake when the interplanetary magnetic field (IM…
