Abstract

Abstract A new era of lunar exploration has begun bringing immense opportunities for science as well. It has been proposed to deploy a new generation of observatories on the lunar surface for deep studies of our Universe. This includes radio antennas, which would be protected on the far side of the Moon from terrestrial radio interference, and gravitational-wave (GW) detectors, which would profit from the extremely low level of seismic disturbances on the Moon. In recent years, novel concepts have been proposed for lunar GW detectors based on long-baseline laser interferometry or on compact sensors measuring the lunar surface vibrations caused by GWs. In this article, we review the concepts and science opportunities for such instruments on the Moon. In addition to promising breakthrough discoveries in astrophysics and cosmology, lunar GW detectors would also be formidable probes of the lunar internal structure and improve our understanding of the lunar geophysical environment.

月球引力波探测

月球探测的新时代也开始为科学带来巨大的机遇。有人提议在月球表面部署新一代天文台，以深入研究我们的宇宙。这包括无线电天线，它将被保护在月球的远端免受地面无线电干扰，以及引力波探测器，它将从月球上极低水平的地震干扰中获益。近年来，人们提出了基于长基线激光干涉测量或紧凑传感器测量GW引起的月球表面振动的月球GW探测器的新概念。在这篇文章中，我们回顾了在月球上使用这种仪器的概念和科学机会。月球GW探测器除了有望在天体物理学和宇宙学方面取得突破性发现外，还将成为研究月球内部结构的强大探测器，并提高我们对月球地球物理环境的了解。
