The compositions of the lunar crust and upper mantle: Spectral analysis of the inner rings of lunar impact basins

The innermost ring in impact basins exposes material originating from various depths, and can be used to study the composition of the lunar crust with depth. In this study, we conduct quantitative mineralogical analyses of the innermost ring in 13 lunar impact basins using reflectance data from the...
