Scientific paper

Twenty new Moon models are developed, based on a moment of inertia of 0.39 as determined from the Lunar Orbiters, and on composition and phase change studies of the corresponding pressure region, the upper 150 km, of the Earth. Periods of free oscillations and surface wave dispersion are computed and compared to those of homogeneous, self-compression, heavy core, and density reversal models found previously. The mechanical spectra and dispersion curves are sufficiently different that observations of free oscillations on the Moon will be able to choose among most models. The dispersion curves developed will allow rapid interpretation of initial lunar seismic data.
