Abstract
⺠We examine finite gyroradius effects in the solar wind interaction with the Moon. ⺠Global scale interaction and magnetic anomalies are studied with a 3D hybrid model. ⺠The potential sheath is studied with an electrostatic 1D Particle-in-Cell simulation. ⺠The finite ion and electron gyroradius was found to affect lunar plasma environment. ⺠Kinetic effects should be taken into account in lunar plasma models.
