  • Detectability of subsurface interfaces in Lunar Maria by the LRS/SELENE sounding radar: Influence of mineralogical composition
    Geophysical Research Letters, 2010
    Co-Authors: Antoine Pommerol, Wlodek Kofman, J. Audouard, Cyril Grima, Pierre Beck, Jeremie Mouginot, Alain Herique, Atsushi Kumamoto, T. Kobayashi, Takayuki Ono
    Abstract:

    [1] The Lunar Radar Sounder (LRS) of the SELENE mission has detected horizontal subsurface features at depths of a few hundreds of meters within all major Lunar Maria. We have mapped these features at global scale and found a heterogeneous geographical distribution, which correlates negatively with the maps of TiO 2 and FeO obtained from UV-VIS measurements by the Clementine probe. High concentration of ilmenite (FeTiO 3 ) in the basaltic mare lava can explain this correlation, this mineral being a strong absorber for low frequency electromagnetic waves. Thus, absence of detection of subsurface interfaces by LRS on a large portion of Lunar Maria does not necessarily imply that these interfaces are actually absent.
