Extremely high reflection of solar wind protons as neutral hydrogen atoms from regolith in space
Martin Wieser, Stas Barabash, Yoshifumi Futaana +7
We report on measurements of extremely high reflection rates of solar wind particles from regolith-covered lunar surfaces. Measurements by the Sub-keV Atom Reflecting Analyzer (SAR…
Studying the Lunar-Solar Wind Interaction with the SARA Experiment aboard the Indian Lunar Mission Chandrayaan-1
Anil Bhardwaj, Stas Barabash, M. B. Dhanya +7
The first Indian lunar mission Chandrayaan-1 was launched on 22 October 2008. The Sub-keV Atom Reflecting Analyzer (SARA) instrument onboard Chandrayaan-1 consists of an energetic…
Protons in the near-lunar wake observed by the Sub-keV Atom Reflection Analyzer on board Chandrayaan-1
Yoshifumi Futaana, Stas Barabash, Martin Wieser +7
Significant proton fluxes were detected in the near wake region of the Moon by an ion mass spectrometer on board Chandrayaan-1. The energy of these nightside protons is slightly hi…
First observation of a mini-magnetosphere above a lunar magnetic anomaly using energetic neutral atoms
Martin Wieser, Stas Barabash, Yoshifumi Futaana +7
The Sub-keV Atom Reflecting Analyzer (SARA) instrument on the Indian Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft has produced for the first time an image of a lunar magnetic anomaly in backscattered…
Dynamics of solar wind protons reflected by the Moon
M. Holmstrom, M. Wieser, S. Barabash +2
Solar system bodies that lack a significant atmosphere and significant internal magnetic fields, such as the Moon and asteroids, have been considered as passive absorbers of the so…
