Development of a bunching ionizer for TOF mass spectrometers with reduced resources
Oya Kawashima, Satoshi Kasahara, Yoshifumi Saito +3
In some types of mass spectrometers, such as Time of Flight mass spectrometers (TOF-MSs), it is necessary to control pulsed beams of ions. This can be easily accomplished by applyi…
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…
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…
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…
