Title:
SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC STUDY OF THE LUNAR SURFACE.

Abstract:
The report gives an account of the instrumentation photoelectric spectrometers built for the study of the luminescence of the lunar surface, as well as of the observations carried out with their aid. The existence of a transient luminescence has repeatedly been detected photoelectrically by the line-depth method, as well as photographically by use of narrow-passband interference filters in different parts of the lunar surface. The present report gives a summarizing account of such observations. It is pointed out that luminescence is connected with the solar activity, and induced probably by the corpuscular output of solar flares. Author
