Fractionation of Solar Wind Minor Ion Precipitation by the Lunar Paleo-Magnetosphere
Abstract
We report simulations of solar wind (SW) minor ion fractionation by the lunar paleo-magnetosphere. Model results suggest paleo-magnetic fields strongly fractioned SW minor ions. We discuss the implications of these findings for lunar sample analyses.
