This thesis describes the essential features of Moon-plasma
interactions with a particular emphasis on the Earth's magnetotail
plasma regime from both observational and theoretical standpoints.
The Moon lacks a dense atmosphere as well as a strong intrinsic
magnetic field. As a result, its interactions with the ambient
plasma are drastically different from solar-wind interactions with
magnetized planets such as Earth. The Moon encounters a wide range
of plasma regime from the relatively dense, cold, supersonic
solar-wind plasma to the low-density, hot, subsonic plasma in the
geomagnetic tail. In this book, the author presents a series of new
observations from recent lunar missions (i.e., Kaguya, ARTEMIS, and
Chandrayaan-1), demonstrating the importance of the electron
gyro-scale dynamics, plasma of lunar origin, and hot plasma
interactions with lunar magnetic anomalies. The similarity and
difference between the Moon-plasma interactions in the geomagnetic
tail and those in the solar wind are discussed throughout the
thesis. The basic knowledge presented in this book can be applied
to plasma interactions with airless bodies throughout the solar
system and beyond.
