Abstract: Lunar swirls are collections of finely structured bright and dark surface markings, alternating over length scales of typically 1–5 km. If swirls are the result of plasma interactions with crustal magnetic anomalies or electrostatic or… read more here.

Abstract: The scattering of light off the bright regions of lunar swirls suggests a relatively higher fraction of fine‐grained dust compared to dust with similar optical maturity values found elsewhere on the lunar surface when assuming… read more here.
