    Abstract
  • Solar radiation and solar wind create a complex dust-plasma environment in lunar crater. Based on the elevation data obtained from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) onboard Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), we constructed a three-dimensional model of Zhinyu crater which located in the Chang'E-4 landing area, and then calculated the effective solar irradiance and the percentage of illuminated area at different local time in the lunar daytime. The results show that the crater self-shading effect plays an important role in crater illumination conditions, and the percentage of illuminated area reaches 100% only during 10:30LT-13:30LT. In addition, we calculated the distributions of equilibrium surface potential, Debye length and electric field at different local time, which were found to be highly dependent on the crater self-shading effect. Finally, we discussed the relationship of equilibrium surface potential, Debye length and electric field at the bottom of Zhinyu-like crater with local time and latitude. The results show that the distributions of equilibrium surface potential, Debye length and electric field are symmetric along the time of 12:00LT and lunar equator. These values almost remain unchanged on the shadow areas and change slightly on the sunlit areas, but change dramatically at the dead zone.
