Accurate Mapping and Evaluation of Small Impact Craters within the Lunar Landing Area

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Impact craters, as the most distinct lunar structural unit and geological structure, are marked on the Moon’s surface. For over a decade, researchers have focused on identifying and exploring large- to medium-sized impact craters on the surface of the ...

Identification of Lunar Craters in the Chang’e-5 Landing Region Based on Kaguya TC Morning Map

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Impact craters are extensively researched geological features that contribute to various aspects of lunar science, such as evaluating the model age, regolith thickness, etc. The method for identifying impact craters has gradually transitioned from manual

Topographic Relaxation of Complex Impact Craters in a Clathrate Crust on Titan

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Titan’s impact craters are significantly shallower than fresh craters on Ganymede, which are often used as templates for fresh craters on Titan. The presence of a clathrate crust on Titan, which would insulate the ice shell and maintain warmer ice near ...

Study on the Degradation Pattern of Impact Crater Populations in Yutu-2′s Rovering Area

open access: yesRemote Sensing
A detailed analysis of the panoramic camera data from the 27th to 33rd lunar days was conducted on the high-resolution scenes captured by the Yutu-2 rover stations. This analysis aimed to determine the detailed morphological parameters of the 2015 impact

Transformer-Based Multi-Modal Fusion for Martian Impact Crater Classification

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Impact craters, as key geomorphic features on Mars, provide important insights into surface processes and geological evolution. However, automatic classification of crater morphologies remains challenging due to substantial variations in size ...

Multi-Platform Integrated Analysis of the Degradation Patterns of Impact Crater Populations on the Lunar Surface

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Following the processing of the Chang’e-4 satellite images, Chang’e-4 landing camera images, and Yutu-2 panoramic camera images, data were obtained in a variety of resolutions, including digital elevation model (DEM) and digital orthophoto map (DOM).

Rapid Impact Crater Relaxation Caused by an Insulating Methane Clathrate Crust on Titan

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Titan’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

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Craters 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 ...

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.
