Study on Lunar Surface Charging Effects Induced by Charged Particle Flows in the Earth’s Magnetotail Lobes and Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Charged Lunar Dust
Online published: 2026-01-20
地球磁尾瓣区是地球磁层在背阳侧受太阳风压缩形成的延伸结构,内部充斥着低密度、高温度的稀薄等离子体,该区域的粒子能谱与流向特征显著区别于太阳风等典型磁层环境。月球在周期性穿越该区域时,带电粒子流与月面相互作用,进而引发月表电荷再分布,并改变近表层月尘的空间迁移特性。因此,利用航天器等离子体相互作用系统(Spacecraft Plasma Interaction System,SPIS),对磁尾瓣区带电粒子流到达与离开月表过程中诱发的月面充电效应展开研究,以揭示带电粒子流入射过程中月面电位、电流以及带电月尘空间分布的演化规律。研究结果表明,在充电初期,高速电子流率先抵达月面,使表面电位快速下降至约−39.00 V;随着月面负电位的增强,与电子流碰撞产生的带电月尘在月面静电排斥作用下向外迁移,电位逐渐回升并稳定在−10.00~−20.00 V。在稳态阶段,电子、离子与尘埃电流实现通量平衡,带电尘埃主要聚集于月面上方0~100 m,形成密度约106 m−3的近月面尘埃层。

The Earth’s magnetotail tail lobes are extended structures formed by solar wind compression on the sunward side of the magnetosphere. These regions are filled with low-density, high-temperature rarefied plasma, whose particle spectrum and flow characteristics significantly differ from typical magnetospheric environments like the solar wind. When the Moon periodically traverses this region, the interaction between charged particle streams and the lunar surface triggers redistribution of surface charge and alters the spatial migration characteristics of near-surface lunar dust. Therefore, this study employs the Spacecraft Plasma Interaction System (SPIS) software to simulate lunar surface charging behavior induced by charged particle streams arriving at and departing from the lunar surface within the magnetotail lobe environment. It investigates the evolution of lunar surface potential, current, and the spatial distribution of charged lunar dust during the particle influx process. Results indicate: During the initial charging phase, high-speed electron streams reach the lunar surface first, causing the surface potential to rapidly drop to approximately −39.00 V. As the negative surface potential intensifies, charged lunar dust generated by collisions with the electron stream migrates outward due to electrostatic repulsion, causing the potential to gradually rebound and stabilize between −1.00~−20.00 V. During the steady-state phase, electron, ion, and dust currents achieve flux equilibrium. Charged dust primarily accumulates within 0~100 m above the lunar surface, forming a near-surface dust layer with a density of approximately 106 m−3.
