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…
A new view on the solar wind interaction with the Moon
Anil Bhardwaj, M B Dhanya, Abhinaw Alok +9
Characterised by a surface bound exosphere and localised crustal magnetic fields, the Moon was considered as a passive object when solar wind interacts with it. However, the neutra…
Remote Energetic Neutral Atom Imaging of Electric Potential Over a Lunar Magnetic Anomaly
Y. Futaana, S. Barabash, M. Wieser +5
The formation of electric potential over lunar magnetized regions is essential for understanding fundamental lunar science, for understanding the lunar environment, and for plannin…
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…
