New Views of Lunar Seismicity Brought by Analysis of Newly Discovered Moonquakes in Apollo Short‐Period Seismic Data
Keisuke Onodera
Abstract:In the 1970s, two types of seismometers were installed on the nearside of the Moon. One type is called the Long‐Period (LP) seismometer, which is sensitive below 1.5 Hz. The other is called the Short‐Period (SP) seismometer, whose sensitivity is high around 2–10 Hz. So far, more than 13,000 seismic events have been identified through analyzing the LP data, which allowed us to investigate lunar seismicity and its internal structure. On the other hand, most of the SP data have remained unanalyzed because they in… Show more
