Physics

Scientific paper

A core objective of Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's (LRO) onboard ultraviolet spectrograph Lyman Alpha Mapping Project (LAMP) is to produce global maps of surface albedo from observed brightness in the FUV wavelength range 57-196 nm. To do so requires accounting for the interplanetary medium Lyman-! background, UV-bright stellar sources, sunlight, and topographic occlusions that limit the fraction of the sky visible to a point on the surface. Modeling has been performed based on the latest LOLA elevation results [1] and measured spectra of all sources considered, and has been included in delivered LAMP albedo maps.
