Rootless cones on Mars indicating the presence of shallow equatorial ground ice in recent times [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
High resolution Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) images have revealed the existence of clusters of small cones in the Cerberus plains, Marte Valles, and Amazonis Planitia, Mars.

Emirates Exploration Imager (EXI) Reveals Crater and Boulder Distribution on Deimos: Insights Into Its Dynamical and Geological Evolution

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Deimos, the smaller and outer Martian moon, is a dark, irregularly shaped body whose origin and evolution are still poorly constrained. Its surface is smoother and less cratered than the other moon, Phobos, a difference still unexplained due to limited ...

Selected Crater and Small Caldera Lakes in Alaska: Characteristics and Hazards

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
This study addresses the characteristics, potential hazards, and both eruptive and non-eruptive role of water at selected volcanic crater lakes in Alaska. Crater lakes are an important feature of some stratovolcanoes in Alaska.

A New Martian Crater Chronology: Implications for Jezero Crater [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2021
Abstract Crater chronologies are a fundamental tool to assess the relative and absolute ages of planetary surfaces when direct radiometric dating is not available. Martian crater chronologies are derived from lunar crater spatial densities on terrains with known radiometric ages, and thus they critically depend on the Moon-to-Mars ...

Measurement of plasma for elucidation of crater formation mechanism on aluminum foam under high speed impact

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal, 2016
It has been reported that when a high-speed projectile collides with aluminum foam, a unique crater with a narrow entrance and large cavity is formed, shaped like a turnip.

Quantitative Research on the Morphological Characteristics of Lunar Impact Craters of Different Stratigraphic Ages since the Imbrian Period

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Impact craters serve as recorders of lunar evolutionary history, and determining the stratigraphic ages of craters is crucial. However, the age of many craters on the Moon remains undetermined.

Cratering for Impact of Hypervelocity Projectiles into Granite Targets within a Velocity Range of 1.91–3.99 km/s: Experiments and Analysis

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
To understand and analyze crater damage of rocks under hypervelocity impact, the hypervelocity impact cratering of 15 shots of hemispherical-nosed cylindrical projectiles into granite targets was studied within the impact velocity range of 1.91−3 ...

Shock-Induced Damage in Rocks: Application to Impact Cratering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Shock-induced damage beneath impact craters is studied in this work. Two representative terrestrial rocks, San Marcos granite and Bedford limestone, are chosen as test target.
