Abstract:
Numerical models of the lunar exosphere have been available for several decades to allow investigations of the Moon’s tenuous atmosphere beyond the few measurements made by satellite or ground-based experiments. We present a novel approach to modeling a system of elements, namely the hydrogen-bearing species H, H2, OH, and H2O, in a multi-element simulation, implementing exospheric and geochemical conversion reactions to connect the different species through their loss and source processes.
