LUNAR SURFACE REMOTE SENSING 7:00 P.M Lunar and Planetary Science XXXVI (2005) sess73.pdf Thursday, March 17, 2005 POSTER SESSION II: LUNAR SURFACE REMOTE SENSING 7:00 p.m. Fitness Center Okada T. Arai T. Hosono K. Shirai K. Yamamoto Y. Ogawa K. Kato M. First X-Ray Observation of Lunar Farside from Hayabusa X-Ray Spectrometer [#1175] The X-ray fluorescence spectrometer or XRS on-board Hayabusa has observed the first X-ray emission off the surface of lunar farside on May 17 in 2004, just before the Earth swing-by. The data indicates that the overall average composition of lunar farside is consistent with anorthositic crust. Garrick-Bethell I. Zuber M. T. An Indigenous Origin for the South Pole-Aitken Basin Thorium Anomaly [#2372] Based on analysis of a combination of datasets we propose that the thorium anomaly in the northwest corner of the South Pole-Aitken basin most likely reflects an indigenous process. Thompson T. W. Campbell B. A. Unusual Radar Backscatter Properties Along the Northern Rim of Imbrium Basin [#1535] The terra along the northern rim of Imbrium has unusually low radar backscatter, which is 2–4 times lower than other terra. This may be attributed to a mantle of pyroclastics in this area. Campbell B. A. Campbell D. B. Chandler J. New 70-cm Radar Mapping of the Moon [#1385] We are collecting a new high-resolution 70-cm radar map of the lunar nearside. Saito M. Takata T. Matsushita M. Chishima T. Ikeda Y. Hirao N. Iijima Y. Ground-based Observation of Lunar Surface by Lunar VIS/NIR Spectral Imager [#1513] Ground-based Lunar VIS/NIR Spectral Imager is developed in order to obtain 3 dimensional spectral and spatial images of the nearside of the moon. Preliminary imaging and data reduction were conducted in Mare Serenitatis and Tranquillitatis. Giguere T. A. Hawke B. R. Gaddis L. R. Blewett D. T. Lucey P. G. Peterson C. A. Smith G. A. Spudis P. D. Taylor G. J. Remote Sensing Studies of the Dionysius Region of the Moon [#1092] The dark rays of Dionysius crater are dominated by mare debris, not by glassy impact melt. The mafic debris was derived from a dark layer exposed high on the inner crater wall. Lawrence S. J. Hawke B. R. Lawrence D. J. Gillis J. J. Lucey P. G. Smith G. A. Taylor G. J. The Composition and Origin of the Dewar Geochemical Anomaly [#1549] We report the results of a remote sensing investigation of the thorium anomaly located northeast of Dewar crater on the lunar farside. The elevated thorium values correlate with FeO and TiO2 enhancements. Possible origin mechanisms are discussed. Kodama S. Yamaguchi Y. Mare Volcanism on the Moon Inferred from Clementine UVVIS Data [#1641] The mare basalts in Oceanus Procellarum and Mare Imbrium were mapped, and their stratigraphy was established using the Clementine UVVIS data in order to understand the temporal and spatial variations of the lunar mare volcanism. Gillis J. J. Lucey P. G. Campbell B. A. Hawke B. R. Clementine 2.7 µm Data and 70-cm Earth-based Radar Data Provide Additional Constraints for UVVIS-based Estimates of TiO2 Content for Lunar Mare Basalts [#2254] Looking to improve the accuracy of your UVVIS derived TiO2 compositions for lunar basalts? Look no further, 2.7 µm and 70-cm radar data sets provide complementary information to the UVVIS ratio that may improve your estimates of TiO2 composition. Lunar and Planetary Science XXXVI (2005) sess73.pdf Holsclaw G. M. McClintock W. E. Robinson M. S. Comparison of Newly Acquired Lunar Spectra with the Titanium Abundance Maps Derived from Clementine [#2376] Spectra of several locations on the Moon has been acquired. The correlation of the 360/450-nm color ratio with titanium abundance is examined. Hackwill T. Guest J. E. Spudis P. Basalts in Mare Serenitatis, Lacus Somniorum, Lacus Mortis and Part of Mare Tranquillitatis [#1654] We have used Clementine data to investigate the spatial distribution of FeO and TiO2 wt% in the Mare Serenitatis region. We suggest there is a correlation between FeO/TiO2 wt% and basalt depth. Kramer G. Y. Jolliff B. L. Neal C. R. Kirkland L. E. Fessler B. Distinguishing High-Al Mare Basalt Units Using High Resolution Clementine Data [#2256] High resolution Clementine FeO and TiO2 are used to search for high-Al mare basalts exposures. Small impacts into a region, which are large enough to penetrate the regolith but do not excavate below the maria, act as windows revealing the composition of the fresh basalt. Bussey D. B. J.

In addition these images represent a unique snapshot of the polar illumination conditions. Hagerty J. J. Lawrence D. J. Elphic R. C. Feldman W. C. Vaniman D. T. Hawke B. R. Revised Thorium Abundances for Lunar Red Spots [#1746] We use Lunar Prospector gamma-ray data and Clementine spectral reflectance data to revisit the interpretation of thorium abundances at the Gruithuisen red spot, with implications for other lunar red spots. Wilcox B. B. Lucey P. G. Cahill J. T. Space Weathering and Thermal Properties of Fresh Craters on the Moon [#2293] We examine correlations between space weathering as determined from Clementine UV-VIS images and rock abundance as determined from thermal images taken during lunar eclipse, and present implications for the state of the regolith and its evolution. .

  • Sky and Telescope
    SkyandTelescope.com The Lunar 100 By Charles A. Wood Just about every telescope user is familiar with French comet hunter Charles Messier's catalog of fuzzy objects. Messier's 18th-century listing of 109 galaxies, clusters, and nebulae contains some of the largest, brightest, and most visually interesting deep-sky treasures visible from the Northern Hemisphere. Little wonder that observing all the M objects is regarded as a virtual rite of passage for amateur astronomers. But the night sky offers an object that is larger, brighter, and more visually captivating than anything on Messier's list: the Moon. Yet many backyard astronomers never go beyond the astro-tourist stage to acquire the knowledge and understanding necessary to really appreciate what they're looking at, and how magnificent and amazing it truly is. Perhaps this is because after they identify a few of the Moon's most conspicuous features, many amateurs don't know where Many Lunar 100 selections are plainly visible in this image of the full Moon, while others require to look next. a more detailed view, different illumination, or favorable libration. North is up. S&T: Gary The Lunar 100 list is an attempt to provide Moon lovers with Seronik something akin to what deep-sky observers enjoy with the Messier catalog: a selection of telescopic sights to ignite interest and enhance understanding. Presented here is a selection of the Moon's 100 most interesting regions, craters, basins, mountains, rilles, and domes. I challenge observers to find and observe them all and, more important, to consider what each feature tells us about lunar and Earth history.

Men at Work: Public Construction, Labor, and Society at Middle Republican Rome, 390-168 B.C. Abstract MEN AT WORK: PUBLIC CONSTRUCTION, LABOR, AND SOCIETY AT MID-REPUBLICAN ROME, 390-168 B.C. Seth G. Bernard C. Brian Rose, Supervisor of Dissertation This dissertation investigates how Rome organized and paid for the considerable amount of labor that went into the physical transformation of the Middle Republican city. In particular, it considers the role played by the cost of public construction in the socioeconomic history of the period, here defined as 390 to 168 B.C. During the Middle Republic period, Rome expanded its dominion first over Italy and then over the Mediterranean. As it developed into the political and economic capital of its world, the city itself went through transformative change, recognizable in a great deal of new public infrastructure.

  • Water on the Moon, III. Volatiles & Activity
    Water on The Moon, III. Volatiles & Activity Arlin Crotts (Columbia University) For centuries some scientists have argued that there is activity on the Moon (or water, as recounted in Parts I & II), while others have thought the Moon is simply a dead, inactive world. [1] The question comes in several forms: is there a detectable atmosphere? Does the surface of the Moon change? What causes interior seismic activity? From a more modern viewpoint, we now know that as much carbon monoxide as water was excavated during the LCROSS impact, as detailed in Part I, and a comparable amount of other volatiles were found. At one time the Moon outgassed prodigious amounts of water and hydrogen in volcanic fire fountains, but released similar amounts of volatile sulfur (or SO2), and presumably large amounts of carbon dioxide or monoxide, if theory is to be believed. So water on the Moon is associated with other gases. Astronomers have agreed for centuries that there is no firm evidence for “weather” on the Moon visible from Earth, and little evidence of thick atmosphere. [2] How would one detect the Moon’s atmosphere from Earth? An obvious means is atmospheric refraction. As you watch the Sun set, its image is displaced by Earth’s atmospheric refraction at the horizon from the position it would have if there were no atmosphere, by roughly 0.6 degree (a bit more than the Sun’s angular diameter). On the Moon, any atmosphere would cause an analogous effect for a star passing behind the Moon during an occultation (multiplied by two since the light travels both into and out of the lunar atmosphere).
