Rapid Impact Crater Relaxation Caused by an Insulating Methane Clathrate Crust on Titan
The Planetary Science JournalTitan’s impact craters are hundreds of meters shallower than expected, compared to similar-sized craters on Ganymede. Only 90 crater candidates have been identified, the majority of which have low certainty of an impact origin.

Magnetic Field Signatures of Craters on Mars
Geophysical Research LettersCraters on Mars are a window into Mars' past and the time they were emplaced. Because the crust is heated and shocked during impact, craters can demagnetize or magnetize the crust depending on the presence or absence of a dynamo field at the time of ...

The Population of Young Craters on the Moon: New Catalog and Spatial and Temporal Analysis
The Planetary Science JournalWe present a new catalog of the Moon’s rayed and rocky craters from 5 to 130 km in diameter. Using data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and the JAXA Kaguya/Selene missions, we identify 571 unique craters with albedo, maturity, and/or thermophysical

Boreas, EarlyView.The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Large craters on the meteoroid and space debris impact experiment [PDF]
Examination of 29.37 sq m of thick aluminum plates from the LDEF, which were exposed to the meteoroid and man-made orbital debris environments for 5.8 years, revealed 606 craters that were 0.5 mm in diameter or larger.
