Sorry, I think I sent this to the wrong “crater-team” address earlier.

Subject: SOFIA result on lunar dayside water
Hello—
You may have seen today’s announcement that SOFIA, NASA’s airborne IR observatory, has for the first time confirmed the presence of water on the sunlit face of the Moon. The paper is in Nature Astronomy at
https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41550-020-01222-x
(open access). They talk about previous detections of hydrogen or hydrogen-bearing compounds on the dayside; no mention of CRaTER. However, they point out that these do not single out water per se, which is what their IR data bring to the table. I’ve got to finish the stuff I’m working on (dose vs. terrain, code comparison) so I can get back to the albedo modeling and observations…
Ad moona con watera—
