| الوصف: | Micrometeorite impacts are a key space weathering process on the lunar surface, generating a variety of physical and chemical changes in the lunar regolith. Several experiments using nanosecond pulsed lasers to simulate micrometeorite impact have been published in the past two decades, providing a wealth of knowledge, including how minerals vary in their response to laser irradiation. Although these experiments have produced many features analogous to those observed in natural samples, none could be attributed to the passage of a shock wave, resulting instead from hot ablation. Recent femtosecond laser irradiation of olivine and enstatite have more accurately reproduced the shock textures observed in lunar samples, improving our ability to coordinate experimental and lunar sample data. Both pulsed laser experiments and studies of lunar impact craters have focused on silicates, as they comprise the bulk of the regolith. Ilmenite (FeTiO |
