Thermal Moonquake Location Algorithm and Analysis

[摘要] What: Thermal moonquakes are small amplitude events that are produced by diurnal temperature changes. Why: Finding the locations of thermal moonquakes will lead to information about lunar surface processes. Where: Apollo 17 Lunar Seismic Profiling Experiment (LSPE) is able to locate thermal moonquake unlike Apollo 12-16. The primary science goal was an active source experiment to study the detailed structure of the lunar crust using 8 explosive packages (EPs). The secondary science goal was to passively listen for lunar seismic activity.
