摘要
We present a method of conversion of the lunar neutron counting rate measured by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Lunar Exploration Neutron Detector (LEND) instrument collimated neutron detectors, to water equivalent hydrogen (WEH) in the top 1 m layer of lunar regolith. Polar maps of the Moon's inferred hydrogen abundance are presented and discussed. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
