Thermoluminescence of the Moon

Abstract: Thermoluminescence is investigated as a possible cause of transient lunar events. Energy derived from earthshine, or from solar particle and electromagnetic radiation, could be stored in surface traps and released after sunrise to yield observable thermal glow. Glow curves are computed using the actual lunar heating rates applied to materials whose parameters describe the range of all solids. The glow intensities of some possible materials are found to exceed the scattered solar background up to several days a… Show more
