Discovery of a Lunar Cold Spot at Apollo 16's South Ray Crater Open
Lunar cold spots are extensive, ray‐like regions of reduced nighttime temperature surrounding young impact craters. Using improved Diviner temperature maps, we identify a faint cold spot surrounding South Ray crater at the Apollo 16 landin…

Interest, enjoyment, and confidence in mathematics in the United States: exploring patterns across age, gender, race, and time Open
Background Although prior research has explored students’ affective experiences in mathematics and its demographic correlatives, additional studies are needed that: (1) use large national data sets; (2) incorporate a broad range of affecti…

Modelled temperature profiles for the observed area for MERTIS during the 5th flyby of BepiColombo. Open
. Introduction:Mercury is a fascinating planet for thermal modelers. With extreme temperatures ranging from 100 K at night to over 700 K during the day [1, 2], and its 3:2 spin-orbit resonance with the sun [3], modelling Mercury’s thermal …

MERTIS Thermal Modeling: Mapping Emissivity Variations from BepiColombo’s Mercury Swingby 5 Open
IntroductionOn December 1st, 2024, the ESA/JAXA spacecraft BepiColombo performed its fifth Mercury swing-by (MSB#5), during which the onboard Mercury Radiometer and Thermal Infrared Spectrometer (MERTIS) [1,2] observed Mercury’s surface fo…

Orientale Basin as a Guide for Identifying Lunar Basin Datable Impact Melt and Assessing Impact Melt Differentiation Open
Two fundamental questions face lunar scientists: (1) What is the absolute age of each lunar impact basin and thus the early impact flux curve? (2) To what degree did basin impact melt seas undergo differentiation? We compiled a 1:200,000-s…

Thermophysical Diversity of Young Lunar Crater Ejecta Revealed with LRO Diviner Observations Open
Young (1 m in diameter, (2) “clastic” ejecta with varying levels of vertical density stratification, and (3) “impact melts” with high thermal inertia materials buried under a layer of less dense material. These thermophysically derived cla…

Thermal Modelling of Mercury with Roughness and Topography: Comparison with Mariner 10 IRR and Predictions for BepiColombo MERTIS Open
The Mercury Radiometer and Infrared Spectrometer (MERTIS) on board the BepiColombo mission [1,2] will map Mercury’s thermal emission at high resolution. In preparation for its arrival at Mercury, we develop a thermal model that accou…

Extended Silicic Volcanism in the Gruithuisen Region—Revisiting the Composition and Thermophysical Properties of Gruithuisen Domes on the Moon Open
The formation mechanisms, extent, and compositions of red spots on the lunar surface have intrigued the lunar community for decades. By identifying a new dome and another silicic crater in the highlands nearby, we find that the silicic vol…

Lunar Boulder Fields as Indicators of Recent Tectonic Activity Open
Wrinkle ridges are the predominant tectonic structure on the nearside lunar maria. Although lunar wrinkle ridge formation began as early as ∼3.9–4.0 Ga, recent investigations have identified wrinkle ridges in the lunar maria that were tect…

High‐Resolution Nighttime Temperature and Rock Abundance Mapping of the Moon Using the Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment With a Model for Topographic Removal Open
The Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has been mapping the surface temperatures of the Moon since 5 July 2009. Diviner has since collected over 500 billion radiometric measurements with excellent…
