Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lunar Surface Layer: Materials and Characteristics focuses on the characteristics, nature, and materials located in the lunar surface layer, including lunar soil mechanics, water vapor adsorption, and soil behavior. The selection first elaborates on soil mechanics considerations in the testing of lunar soil models, an experimental study in lunar soil mechanics, and gravity effects on soil behavior. Discussions focus on cohesion in lunar soils, gravity effect on dynamic shear strength of soils, porosity, soil bearing strength, lunar effects, soil cohesion in the lunar environment, gradation, structure and contact characteristics, and statics and dynamics. The book then examines the investigation of soil adhesion under high vacuum; water vapor adsorption behavior of kaolinite after high-vacuum storage; and sonic velocity and shear strength of possible lunar surface materials. Concerns cover shear strength, sonic velocity, experimental apparatus, and calibration. The manuscript takes a look at the consideration of properties of simulated lunar soil with possible stabilization techniques; feasibility of remote compositional mapping of the lunar surface; thermal emission characteristics of mineral dusts; and thermal properties of postulated lunar surface materials. The selection is highly recommended for researchers wanting to study the lunar surface layer.

Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of Lunar Science includes the latest topical data, definitions, and explanations of the many and varied facets of lunar science. This is a very useful reference work for a broad audience, not limited to the professional lunar scientist: general astronomers, researchers, theoreticians, practitioners, graduate students, undergraduate students, and astrophysicists as well as geologists and engineers. The title includes all current areas of lunar science, with the topical entries being established tertiary literature. The work is technically suitable to most advanced undergraduate and graduate students. The articles include topics of varying technical levels so that the top scientists of the field find this work a benefit as well as the graduate students and the budding lunar scientists. A few examples of topical areas are as follows: Basaltic Volcanism, Lunar Chemistry, Time and Motion Coordinates, Cosmic Weathering through Meteoritic Impact, Environment, Geology, Geologic History, Impacts and Impact Processes, Lunar Surface Processes, Origin and Evolution Theories, Regolith, Stratigraphy, Tectonic Activity, Topography, Weathering through ionizing radiation from the solar wind, solar flares, and cosmic rays.

Download or read book Thermal Models and Microwave Temperatures of the Planet Mercury written by David Morrison and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several physical properties of the epilith of Mercury can be investigated by a comparison of infrared and microwave brightness temperature with the predictions of theoretical thermal models of the planet. The results presented here have been obtained by numerical solution of the one-dimensional heat-conduction equation with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity, using surface boundary conditions that include the modification of the insolation cycles by the spin-orbit coupling and large orbital eccentricity of the planet. For comparison with microwave observations, disk-averaged brightness temperatures are presented as a function of phase angle and heliocentric longitude of Mercury for wavelengths of 0.12, 0.34, 0.80, 1.90, 3.75, and 11.30 cm. These predictions are compared with calculations from simpler lunar-type models and are used to analyze the existing infrared and microwave observations of the planet. A means of determining observationally both the mean thermal parameter (Kpc)^-1/2 cal^-1 cm2 sec^1/2 deg and the significance of an effective conductivity due to radiative thermal-energy transport is presented. The observations of a microwave phase effect are all found to be compatible with a ratio of electrical to thermal skin depths approximately equal to the wavelength. The thermal parameter is, from infrared observations, larger than 200 cal^-1 cm2 sec^-1/2 deg, indicating a thermal conductivity less than 10^-4 cal cm^-1 sec^-1 deg. The loss tangent of the material is greater than 2 X 10^-3. Although some contradictions are present, the observations strongly suggest an increase of mean brightness temperature with wavelength, indicating a significant radiative contribution to the subsurface thermal conductivity. All these conclusions are consistent with the hypothesis that the epilith of Mercury is physically very similar to that of the Moon.
