Microwave thermophysical properties of surface deposits in CE-6 landing region and its potential implications for analyzing the returned samples
The Apollo basin, situated on the northeastern edge of the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin, is the sampling area for the Chang'e -6 (CE-6) mission. In this study, we investigated the microwave thermophysical properties of surface deposits in the region by comparing brightness temperature (TB) and TB difference (dTB) maps derived from CE-2 Microwave Radiometer data combined with topography, chemical elements, and Moon Mineralogy Mapper products. The main results are as follows. (1) High dTB anomaly: A significant high dTB anomaly is identified near the CE-6 landing region, characterized by the highest FeO and TiO2 contents estimated from the small-fresh craters; (2) Basaltic Volcanism: High dTB anomaly is proposed as a new basaltic unit in late stage of mare infill, and, by combining derived ages and geomorphology, we provide a new perspective on the basaltic volcanism with four episodes of magma infill in the CE-6 landing region; (3) Thermophysical Parameters: The high dTB anomaly indicates the potential importance of analyzing the returned CE-6 samples to enhance our understanding of the Moon's surface deposits using the passive microwave remote sensing data.
