| The Japanese lunar explorer KAGUYA (Selene) was
launched by JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) on 2007 Sept 14.
A global accurate and precise topographic map of the Moon was constructed from the
data obtained by LALT (laser altimeter), which is one of the instruments on board KAGUYA.
The lunar limb profiles obtained from observations of lunar grazing occultations are
compared with those from the KAGUYA-LALT map. Some of the results are shown in the
figures below. For comparison, they are also compared with lunar limb profiles of
Watts (1963). Note that no fitting was made in these drawings. Sôma is using the KAGUYA-LALT data as a Co-I of LALT and is making these analyses. References https://www.selene.jaxa.jp/index_e.htm http://www.miz.nao.ac.jp/rise/en |
