Scientific paper

Chemical fractionation during the formation of the Moon from an impact-generated proto-lunar disk is investigated. The lunar forming material just before accretion is likely on the verge of vaporization. Hence, rapid accretion results in vaporization and formation of a transient silicate atmosphere on the Moon. The hydrodynamic escape of the atmosphere results in depletion of volatile and enrichment of refractory components on the Moon.
