Template for Two-Page Abstracts in Word 97 EUROPEAN LUNAR SYMPOSIUM 2014 DELEGATES’ HANDBOOK Welcome We are pleased to welcome all delegates to the 2nd European Lunar Symposium (ELS), which is taking place at the Natural History Museum in London, UK in partnership with the NASA’s Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute (SSERVI). This pan-European lunar meeting builds upon the highly successful 1st ELS that took place in Berlin, Germany, in April 2012. The range of lunar topics covered by the abstracts submitted to this meeting demonstrates the diversity of lunar research currently being pursued in Europe. We are especially delighted to see a strong participation from PhD students and early-career researchers at this meeting. We also hope that the ELS continue to provide a platform to the European lunar researchers for networking as well as exchanging new ideas and latest results. This document provides logistical information to all attendees and presenters as well as an abstract for each contribution. We hope you have an enjoyable stay and a productive meeting! Mahesh Anand and Sara Russell (On behalf of ELS organisers) Acknowledgements We gratefully acknowledge the support and assistance provided by Kevin Murphy, Russell Rajendra, Martin Hughes and other colleagues from the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland in managing the ELS registration and providing many helpful suggestions that greatly facilitated the organization of this meeting. We thank the NASA SSERVI central for hosting the meeting website. Our special thanks to our SSERVI colleagues, Doris Daou and Ashcon Nejad, for implementing numerous updates to the website at a short notice and often at unsocialble hours!

Members of the Science Organising Committee are thanked for their input in putting together an exciting programme and for volunteering to chair various sessions at the ELS! Finally, we owe a huge debt of gratitude to our colleagues Romain Tartese and Jessica Barnes who acted as editors of the delegates’ booklet and looked after various aspects of ELS organisation. We couldn’t have done without them! Mahesh Anand Chair, ELS 2014, London, UK 3 Joining Instructions The second European Lunar Symposium will take place at the Natural History Museum (NHM) in London on the 15th and 16th May 2014. Oral sessions on both days will be held in the Flett Lecture Theatre, Natural History Museum, Exhibition Road, London SW7. Posters will be displayed in the foyer of the Flett Lecture Theatre. Furter details of these and other logistical arrangements associated with the ELS are given below. The registration desk will be located in the foyer of the Flett Lecture Theatre which will also serve as the help-desk. All refreshments, lunches and Thu evening reception (alongside poster presentations) will also be provided in this area. All participants should register at the registration desk on Thursday (15th May) and Friday (16th May) between 9 am and 10 am. Name badge and a hard copy of delegates’ booklet will be distributed from this desk to each pre-registered delegate. Reaching the NHM The nearest London Underground station is South Kensington (see map below). Leave by the exit marked “Museums”. This will bring you to the southern end of Exhibition Road. Walk north (left from the exit) and you should shortly see the NHM in front of you. 4 Entry to the Natural History Museum There are several entrances to the Natural History Museum. For the duration of the symposium, we will use two of these, both of which are to be found on Exhibition Road, and neither of which is the main museum entrance. From 10 am until 6 pm, access to the Flett Theatre will be by means of the public entrance (Earth Galleries entrance) on Exhibition road. Between 9 am and 10 am (i.e. before official museum opening hours), entry will be via a private entrance (manned by the museum security staff and a conference personnel) just south (to your left when facing the Earth Galleries entrance) of the public entrance. This is a glass door entrance and will have a conference poster identifying it as the point of entry (this entry will close at 10 am each day, when the public entrance opens). The Natural History Museum operates a tight security policy and all visitors are required to pass through a security check each time they enter the building through public entrances. Presentations Presentations will take place in the Flett Lecture Theatre (details to reach the Flett Lecture Theatre can be found here: http://www.nhm.ac.uk/research-curation/news-events/seminars/ attending/index.html). Those presenting talks are encouraged to either send their oral presentation to the ELS email account ([email protected]) prior to the meeting to ease organization or to load their presentations onto the PC in the lecture theatre during the morning registration hours on Thursday and Friday, or during the preceding refreshment/lunch break prior to their session. Presentations should be saved in Microsoft PowerPoint or PDF format. Those wishing to use their own PC and/or Mac laptops must obtain prior approval from ELS organisers and bring appropriate VGA cables and connectors. Speakers have a 15 (12 + 3) minute slot allocated in the timetable, and keynote speakers are allocated 20 (17 + 3) minutes. Posters The posters will be on display in the foyer area of the Flett Lecture Theatre. The poster session will take place on Thursday 15th May from 6 pm to 7.45 pm (along side drinks reception). Delegates are free to visit the posters at any time. Those presenting posters are encouraged to put them on display by lunchtime on Thursday (15th) and remove their posters by Friday 3.30 pm. Posters can be a maximum size of 90 cm 90 cm. Push pins and velcros will be provided. Wifi access The Flett theatre has access to the “Eduroam” wifi system. Delegates from UK institutions should be able to access this using their home log in details. Other delegates can use the “Guest” wifi and can collect a username and password from the registration desk. 5 Scientific programme Thursday, 15th May 2014 (Flett Lecture Theatre, NHM) 09.00 Registration 10.00 Welcome/Housekeeping Session 1: Geomorphology and Remote sensing – Chair: Katherine Joy 10.10 Donaldson Hanna, K.

  • Glossary Glossary
    Glossary Glossary Albedo A measure of an object’s reflectivity. A pure white reflecting surface has an albedo of 1.0 (100%). A pitch-black, nonreflecting surface has an albedo of 0.0. The Moon is a fairly dark object with a combined albedo of 0.07 (reflecting 7% of the sunlight that falls upon it). The albedo range of the lunar maria is between 0.05 and 0.08. The brighter highlands have an albedo range from 0.09 to 0.15. Anorthosite Rocks rich in the mineral feldspar, making up much of the Moon’s bright highland regions. Aperture The diameter of a telescope’s objective lens or primary mirror. Apogee The point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth. At apogee, the Moon can reach a maximum distance of 406,700 km from the Earth. Apollo The manned lunar program of the United States. Between July 1969 and December 1972, six Apollo missions landed on the Moon, allowing a total of 12 astronauts to explore its surface. Asteroid A minor planet. A large solid body of rock in orbit around the Sun. Banded crater A crater that displays dusky linear tracts on its inner walls and/or floor. 250 Basalt A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, low in silicon, with a low viscosity. Basaltic material fills many of the Moon’s major basins, especially on the near side. Glossary Basin A very large circular impact structure (usually comprising multiple concentric rings) that usually displays some degree of flooding with lava. The largest and most conspicuous lava- flooded basins on the Moon are found on the near side, and most are filled to their outer edges with mare basalts.

In this work was specifically investigated the fine grained matrix which is a mixture of fine-grained materials composed largely of amorphous silicate and sub-micrometre crystals forsterite and enstatite. This is thought to be the remnants of the dust and gas of the protoplanetary disk that allows us to better understand chemical and physical properties of this precursor material.

  • Constraining the Evolutionary History of the Moon and the Inner Solar System: a Case for New Returned Lunar Samples

Weiss6 Received: 23 August 2019 / Accepted: 25 November 2019 / Published online: 2 December 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 Abstract The Moon is the only planetary body other than the Earth for which samples have been collected in situ by humans and robotic missions and returned to Earth. Scien- tific investigations of the first lunar samples returned by the Apollo 11 astronauts 50 years ago transformed the way we think most planetary bodies form and evolve. Identification of anorthositic clasts in Apollo 11 samples led to the formulation of the magma ocean concept, and by extension the idea that the Moon experienced large-scale melting and differentiation. This concept of magma oceans would soon be applied to other terrestrial planets and large asteroidal bodies. Dating of basaltic fragments returned from the Moon also showed that a relatively small planetary body could sustain volcanic activity for more than a billion years after its formation. Finally, studies of the lunar regolith showed that in addition to contain- ing a treasure trove of the Moon’s history, it also provided us with a rich archive of the past 4.5 billion years of evolution of the inner Solar System. Further investigations of samples returned from the Moon over the past five decades led to many additional discoveries, but also raised new and fundamental questions that are difficult to address with currently avail- able samples, such as those related to the age of the Moon, duration of lunar volcanism, the Role of Sample Return in Addressing Major Questions in Planetary Sciences Edited by Mahesh Anand, Sara Russell, Yangting Lin, Meenakshi Wadhwa, Kuljeet Kaur Marhas and Shogo Tachibana B R.

Shuster, Jérôme Gattacceca, Lindsey Chan, Ian Garrick-Bethell, James W. Head, Timothy L. Grove, and Michael D. Fuller 1. Previous paleomagnetic studies of high-K mare basalts During the Apollo era, paleomagnetic studies were carried out on at least six high-K basalts: 10017, 10022, 10024, 10049, 10057, and 10069. 10022 was thermally demagnetized (49), but the lack of published directional data precludes the identification of magnetization components. 10024 was found to carry an intense soft overprint and a higher coercivity component blocked from 5 to at least 50 mT, but spurious demagnetization effects prevented a detailed characterization of the latter (1). Similarly, 10057 was found to contain a soft overprint and a higher coercivity component from 9 to >18 mT, but a high-quality paleointensity value could not be obtained because the sample was not fully demagnetized (50, 51). 10069 was only demagnetized to <7 mT before thermal demagnetization was attempted, at which point the sample irreversibly altered (49). Because so many lunar rocks have poor magnetic recording properties (52), we decided to focus on two samples that appeared to be unusually well-behaved during previous AF demagnetization experiments: 10017 and 10049 (Fig. S1 and Table S6). The natural remanent magnetization (NRM) of 10017 was studied by three groups (13-16). Initial reports identified a directionally stable magnetization component during alternating field (AF) demagnetization of subsample 10017,64 up to 50 mT (13).

  • Science Concept 3: Key Planetary
    Science Concept 6: The Moon is an Accessible Laboratory for Studying the Impact Process on Planetary Scales Science Concept 6: The Moon is an accessible laboratory for studying the impact process on planetary scales Science Goals: a. Characterize the existence and extent of melt sheet differentiation. b. Determine the structure of multi-ring impact basins. c. Quantify the effects of planetary characteristics (composition, density, impact velocities) on crater formation and morphology. d. Measure the extent of lateral and vertical mixing of local and ejecta material. INTRODUCTION Impact cratering is a fundamental geological process which is ubiquitous throughout the Solar System. Impacts have been linked with the formation of bodies (e.g. the Moon; Hartmann and Davis, 1975), terrestrial mass extinctions (e.g. the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary extinction; Alvarez et al., 1980), and even proposed as a transfer mechanism for life between planetary bodies (Chyba et al., 1994). However, the importance of impacts and impact cratering has only been realized within the last 50 or so years. Here we briefly introduce the topic of impact cratering. The main crater types and their features are outlined as well as their formation mechanisms. Scaling laws, which attempt to link impacts at a variety of scales, are also introduced. Finally, we note the lack of extraterrestrial crater samples and how Science Concept 6 addresses this. Crater Types There are three distinct crater types: simple craters, complex craters, and multi-ring basins (Fig. 6.1). The type of crater produced in an impact is dependent upon the size, density, and speed of the impactor, as well as the strength and gravitational field of the target.

  • Exploring the Bimodal Solar System Via Sample Return from the Main Asteroid Belt: the Case for Revisiting Ceres
    Space Sci Rev (2020) 216:59 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11214-020-00671-0 Exploring the Bimodal Solar System via Sample Return from the Main Asteroid Belt: The Case for Revisiting Ceres Thomas H. Burbine1 · Richard C. Greenwood2 Received: 24 July 2019 / Accepted: 7 April 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract Sample return from a main-belt asteroid has not yet been attempted, but appears technologically feasible. While the cost implications are significant, the scientific case for such a mission appears overwhelming. As suggested by the “Grand Tack” model, the struc- ture of the main belt was likely forged during the earliest stages of Solar System evolution in response to migration of the giant planets. Returning samples from the main belt has the potential to test such planet migration models and the related geochemical and isotopic concept of a bimodal Solar System. Isotopic studies demonstrate distinct compositional differences between samples be- lieved to be derived from the outer Solar System (CC or carbonaceous chondrite group) and those that are thought to be derived from the inner Solar System (NC or non-carbonaceous group). These two groups are separated on relevant isotopic variation diagrams by a clear compositional gap. The interface between these two regions appears to be broadly coinci- dent with the present location of the asteroid belt, which contains material derived from both groups. The Hayabusa mission to near-Earth asteroid (NEA) (25143) Itokawa has shown what can be learned from a sample-return mission to an asteroid, even with a very small amount of sample. One scenario for main-belt sample return involves a spacecraft launching a projec- tile that strikes an object and flying through the debris cloud, which would potentially allow multiple bodies to be sampled if a number of projectiles are used on different asteroids.
