Manifestations and possible sources of lunar transient phenomena (LTP)

Cameron, W. S.

“…The possible presence of a stabilizing lunar duricrust (Greenwood et al, 1971;Heiken and Carrier, 1971;Carrier and Heiken, 1972) (see section 9.1.4) would tend to reduce the levitation effects, but not the charge accumulations and discharge hazard. More detailed discussions of these effects are found in Criswell (1972), Fenner et al (1973, Gold and Williams (1973), Arrhenίus (1974, Alvarez (1974cAlvarez ( , 1975, Cameron (1974Cameron ( , 1978, Freeman and Ibrahim (1974), Gold (1974), Goldstein (1974), McCoy and Criswell (1974b), Williams (1974), Criswell (1974), Reasoner (1975), Criswell and De (1977), and De and Criswell (1977). Similar effects have also been suggested to exist on the surface of Mercury (Ip, 1986).…”

The Lunar Sourcebook, a concisely presented collection of data gathered during the American and Soviet missions, is an accessible and complete one-volume reference encyclopedia of current scientific and technical information about the Moon. This book provides a thorough introduction to lunar studies and a summary of current information about the nature of the lunar environment. It explores the formation and evolution of the Moon's surface, the chemical and mineralogical nature of lunar rocks and soils, and the current state of scientific knowledge about the nature, origin, and history of the Moon.The book is written and edited by scientists active in every field of lunar research, all of whom are veterans of the Apollo program. The contributors are from universities, national laboratories, industry, and NASA.

“…The most extensive investigations of LTP were made by Cameron (1972Cameron ( , 1975Cameron ( , 1978 and Middlehurst et al (1968). Cameron (1972) cataloged 1468 of these events, many of which had associated photographic or photometric records (events were rejected from her catalog if obvious causes could be found for them, such as albedo variegations, atmospheric effects, or the illumination of facets by the setting sun).…”

“…A large number of observations of lunar transient events, especially unexplained glows and obscurations, have been noted over two centuries of groundbased observations, continuing up to the present (Cameron, 1974(Cameron, , 1978; see section 11.4.2). These changes in lunar brightness may have rise times of <1 sec to 5 sec and range in color from reddish to bluish.…”
