摘要
The Advanced Small Analyzer for Neutrals (ASAN) is an international payload onboard the Chinese Chang'E-4 rover. It performed for the first time measurements of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) on the lunar surface. We show a typical mass separated ENA energy spectrum measured by the ASAN. After normalizing to the impinging solar wind proton energy, good agreement to previous measurements from Chandrayaan-1 and IBEX is found. The hydrogen ENA albedo is estimated to be 32% for energy above 30 eV, comparable to the estimates obtained from Chandrayaan-1 and IBEX. Particle fluxes at lower energies are generally higher than those observed by Chandrayaan-1 and IBEX, and possible reasons are discussed.
