Investigation of lunar ejecta dynamics: particles reaching the near-Earth space and their effect on Earth-based observation

Open Access

Fig. 3

Distribution of a, e, and i for lunar-ejected particles at the moment they reach the Earth. The symbols of a, e, and i denote the semi-major axis, the eccentricity, and the inclination of particles, which are measured in the ECI frame. Panel a: distribution of a. Panel b: distribution of e. Panel c: distribution of i.
