Abstract

In this study, the Chang’E-2 microwave radiometer (CELMS) data are employed to study the thermophysical features of the regolith in the western lunar farside, including Giordano Bruno - the youngest lunar crater of its size. The results are as follows. Firstly, the distribution of the rocks with depth is different in Bruno, King, and Necho craters. Secondly, abundant cold anomalies and one hidden hot anomaly are discovered. Thirdly, at least seven hidden linear structures are discovered, some of which hinting the impacting process of Bruno crater.
