Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Asteroid collision history on the Moon was investigated using lunar surface rock samples (lunar meteorite, Apollo and Runa return samples) based on high-pressure science, mineralogy and isotope chronology. Lunar meteorite, Apollo and Runa return samples include several kinds of a high-pressure mineral besides shock-induced melting texture. Considering the stable pressure field of high-pressure minerals, shock pressure and impact speed were estimated 3-23 GPa and several km/second, respectively. We also tried to determine the impact ages using radio-isotopes.
