Scientific paper

The model presently considered for regolith evolution of surface albedo and color involves the relatively rapid brightening and whitening of a surface, as emplaced flows become fractured and pulverized by impactors. The target provides conduits into which the vapor due to impact can expand, potentially annealing grains of the deeper matrix and darkening and reddening the surface; the trapped impactor material may also directly pollute the target.
