Charged Dust on the Moon
摘要
Abstract—
We describe the plasma–dust system existing near the surface of the Moon and consider the waves and instabilities that can arise in this system in various situations, including when the Moon is inside or outside the Earth’s magnetotail. The mechanism of the charging of dust particles in the near-surface plasma on the Moon is explained. The influence of solar radiation and photoelectrons on the charging of dust particles is noted.
