Physics

Scientific paper

Origin of volatiles, H_2O, CO_2, SO_2 and S, deposited at the lunar poles are studied. The amounts of the deposits are estimated in the lunar cold traps of lunar poles. Observable amounts of water ice at the lunar poles are found to be delivered through the collisions between the Moon and 5-km short-periodic comets. The deposit of sulfur in different origin near the poles is estimated to be about 3x1015 g. Water ice (H) and sulfur deposits on the lunar polar regions can be measured by Gamma-Ray Spectrometer GRS on Japanese polar lunar mission.
