Molecular water detected on the sunlit Moon by SOFIA

C. I. Honniball et al.

Summary: Observations on the Moon at 6 mu m wavelength region by the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) revealed a signature of molecular water, distinguishing it from other forms of hydration. The estimated water abundance ranges between 100 to 400 mu g g(-)(1) at high latitudes, potentially trapped within impact glasses or in between grains.

Lags in Desorption of Lunar Volatiles

M. Sarantos et al.

Summary: The simulation results suggest that current models underestimate the lifetime of weakly bonded adsorbates on the lunar surface due to not considering the effect of Knudsen diffusion, and that thermal desorption of adsorbates should be modeled as a higher-order process. Additionally, there is a discrepancy between present models and outgassing from a realistic porous boundary, with surface diffusion playing a key role in controlling the surface residence time of adsorbates.

Dynamics of Subsurface Migration of Water on the Moon

P. Reiss et al.

Summary: This study investigates the dynamics of a water pumping mechanism on the lunar surface driven by temperature variations. Results show that diurnally varying heat fluxes create suitable conditions for water migration, with water molecules migrating downward via the formation of concentration peaks. The quantity and depth of water migration are influenced by desorption activation energy.

Implications of surface roughness in models of water desorption on the Moon

Bjorn J. R. Davidsson et al.

Summary: The presence of water molecules in the dayside lunar regolith was an unexpected discovery and remains poorly understood. Standard thermophysical models predict temperatures that are too high for adsorbed water to be stable. Surface roughness plays a critical role in influencing the capability of the Moon to retain water on its surface.

Water Group Exospheres and Surface Interactions on the Moon, Mercury, and Ceres

Norbert Schoerghofer et al.

Summary: Water ice is abundant in the outer solar system but volatile in the inner solar system. Inner solar system bodies like Mercury, the Moon, and Ceres have water ice deposits in various forms, with permanently shadowed regions acting as cold traps. The surface of the Moon releases OH or H2O during meteoroid showers, while dwarf planet Ceres has enough gravity to maintain a gravitationally-bound water exosphere.

Temperatures Near the Lunar Poles and Their Correlation With Hydrogen Predicted by LEND

Philipp Glaeser et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the relationship between hydrogen concentrations and temperatures in the lunar polar regions and found potential presence of water ice in the south polar NSRs, while suggesting shallow subsurface water ice in the north polar NSRs. Ice pumping into the subsurface at the north polar NSRs was also identified as ideal conditions for ice accumulation.
