Simulations of Particle Impact at Lunar Magnetic Anomalies and Comparison with Spectral Observations

Erika Harnett, Georgiana Kramer, Christian Udovicic +1

Ever since the Apollo era, a question has remained as to the origin of the lunar swirls (high albedo regions coincident with the regions of surface magnetization). Different proces…

Formation of Lunar Swirls

R. A. Bamford, E. P. Alves, F. Cruz +9

In this paper we show a plausible mechanism that could lead to the formation of the Dark Lanes in Lunar Swirls, and the electromagnetic shielding of the lunar surface that results…

Mini-magnetospheres above the lunar surface and the formation of lunar swirls

R. A. Bamford, B. Kellett, W. J. Bradford +7

In this paper we present in-situ satellite data, theory and laboratory validation that show how small scale collisionless shocks and mini-magnetospheres can form on the electron in…
