Scientific paper

It is suggested that some effect associated with solar wind sputtering is responsible for iron formation in lunar soil. Experimental evidence that seems to contradict the role of surface components in the formation of iron is examined. Leaching experiments show that the vast majority of the iron is located in sites inaccessible to the reagent - in other words, the iron is not located at sample surfaces. The extent of accumulation of solar wind elements and solar wind-derived species in lunar soil is considered.
