• The density and porosity of lunar rocks (2012, result): “, 1996; Hikida and Wieczorek, 2007], but our results (equation (1)) combined with remote sensing data [Prettyman et al., 2006; Kramer et al., 2008; Staid et al., 2011] will allow models that account for regional variations in basalt composition, providing a sharper view of subsurface structures such”
• Lunar resources (2014, background): “Because uranium and thorium are also concentrated in KREEP-rich materials (see below), their distribution can be mapped by orbiting instruments able to detect gamma-rays emitted by these radioactive elements (e.g. Prettyman et al., 2006).”
• Improved modeling of Lunar Prospector neutron spectrometer data: Implications for hydrogen deposits at the lunar poles (2006, methodology): “These soil compositions are similar to what is given by Elphic et al. [2000] and Prettyman et al. [2006] .”
