A Numerical Model to Constrain the Origin of Lunar Impact Ejecta
Abstract
We quantify the effect of contamination on Apollo samples due to ejecta from nearby craters. Using iSALE impact simulations, we generate profiles of the landing locations of material and the pressure-temperature distributions of material.
