Geomechanical models of impact cratering: Puchezh-Katunki structure [PDF]
Impact cratering is a complex natural phenomenon that involves various physical and mechanical processes. Simulating these processes may be improved using the data obtained during the deep drilling at the central mound of the Puchezh-Katunki impact ...

Small but mighty: Impact hazards from iron Near‐Earth Objects
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Small asteroids can impact Earth unexpectedly, as demonstrated by the Chelyabinsk event in 2013. The warning times are likely to be short, and the first tools for fast hazard predictions have been developed in the last years for encounters with rocky or cometary objects, which quickly fragment in the atmosphere and cause airbursts. However, in

Paradigm lost: Venus crater depths and the role of gravity in crater modification [PDF]
Previous to Magellan, a convincing case had been assembled that predicted that complex impact craters on Venus were considerably shallower than their counterparts on Mars, Mercury, the Moon, and perhaps even Earth.

A geophysical investigation of the Roter Kamm impact crater, Namibia
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract The Roter Kamm impact crater is located in the southern Namib Desert. The crater has a diameter of 2.5 km and belongs to the category of simple, bowl‐shaped impact craters, with an elevated rim of fractured target rock. The crater's interior is completely buried beneath sediments, preventing extensive surface investigations of the bedrock ...

Mass mortality and extraterrestrial impacts [PDF]
The discovery of iridium enrichment at the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary resulted in formulation of hypothesis of a cometary or asteroid impact as the cause of the biological extinctions at this boundary. Subsequent discoveries of geochemical anomalies at

Sampling the volcanic plumes at Io: Impact speeds and shock conditions
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract The desire to sample material from the interior of Io, by flying through its volcanic plumes, requires consideration of the flyby speed and the types of sample collection techniques that can be utilized. Low speed collection (1–2.5 km s−1) would require an orbit around Io itself, which is unlikely due to the accumulated radiation dose that ...
