Abstract The Moon and Mercury are airless bodies, thus they are directly exposed to the
ambient plasma (ions and electrons), to photons mostly from the Sun from infrared range all …

The topics of lofted dust, ejected atomic and molecular species, and plasma interactions at
the Moon have made revolutionary strides since the last 'New Views of the Moon'review in …

We discuss the influence of lunar magnetic anomalies on the solar wind and on the lunar
surface, based on maps of solar wind proton fluxes deflected by the magnetic anomalies …

Interactions of the solar wind and emitted photoelectrons with airless bodies have been
studied extensively. However, the details of how charged particles interact with the regolith …

The lunar surface is continuously under the impact of solar wind plasma, which breaks the
chemical bonds of the surface material resulting in weathering of the surface and a modified …

The mass spectrum analyzer (MSA) will perform in situ observations of ions and magnetic
fields around Phobos as part of the Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission to investigate …

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 …

In this paper we present in situ satellite data, theory, and laboratory validation that show how
small-scale collisionless shocks and minimagnetospheres can form on the electron inertial …

We study the scattering of solar wind protons off the lunar surface, using ion observations
collected over 6 years by the ARTEMIS satellites at the Moon. We show the average …

We present observations from the first passage through the lunar plasma wake by one of two
spacecraft comprising ARTEMIS (Acceleration, Reconnection, Turbulence, and …
