At the Royal Society meeting in 2023, we have mainly presented our lunar orbit array concept called DSL, and also briefly introduced a concept of a lunar surface array, LARAF. As the DSL concept had been presented before, in this article we introduce the LARAF. We propose to build an array in the far side of the Moon, with a master station which handles the data collection and processing, and 20 stations with maximum baseline of 10 km. Each station consists 12 membrane antenna units, and the stations are connected to the master station by power line and optical fiber. The array will make interferometric observation in the 0.1-50 MHz band during the lunar night, powered by regenerated fuel cells (RFCs). The whole array can be carried to the lunar surface with a heavy rocket mission, and deployed with a rover in 8 months. Such an array would be an important step in the long term development of lunar based ultralong wavelength radio astronomy. It has a sufficiently high sensitivity to observe many radio sources in the sky, though still short of the dark age fluctuations. We discuss the possible options in the power supply, data communication, deployment, etc.

  1. Synthesis imaging with a lunar orbit array: III. Augmented lagrangian Multiplier Imaging using Gradient descent Optimization (AMIGO)

    astro-ph.IM 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    AMIGO reconstructs all-sky radio maps from lunar-orbit array visibilities by combining mini-batch gradient descent with ALM priors, cutting memory and time costs enough for NSIDE=256 maps on mock DSL data.

  2. Sub-MHz Radio Background from Ultralight Dark Photon Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Dark inverse Compton scattering of cosmic-ray electrons and positrons on ultralight dark photon dark matter produces a sub-MHz radio background that, compared with IMP-6, RAE-2, and Parker Solar Probe data, constrains...

  3. Loop I/NPS morphology predictions in the ultralong-wavelength band

    astro-ph.GA 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    At frequencies below about 3 MHz, a nearby-supernova Loop I/NPS would remain a full bright arc, while a Galactic-Center Loop I/NPS would lose its low-latitude part (b<30 degrees), giving a clean observational test.

  4. Nonlinear reconstruction of 21cm global signal from 21cm power spectrum with artificial neural networks

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    An ANN recovers the global 21cm signal from the 21cm power spectrum in simulations (mean correlation 0.95; 0.83 with SKA-1 noise), but only within the learned model space.
