The Impact Cratering Record on Triton
Science, 1990Impact craters on Triton are scarce owing to the relatively recent resurfacing by icy melts. The most heavily cratered surface has a crater density about the same as the lunar maria. The transition diameter from simple to complex craters occurs at a diameter of about 11 kilometers, and the depth-diameter relationship is ...

Polygonal impact craters on mercury
Planetary and Space Science, 2015The existence of polygonal impact craters (PICs) on Mercury is confirmed by this study, which was performed by analyzing 291 named impact craters greater than 12 km in diameter, photographed by the spacecraft Mariner 10 and MESSENGER. All 15 quadrangles of Mercury were scanned for polygonal impact craters with at least two straight rim segments.

IMPACT! - BOLIDES, CRATERS, AND CATASTROPHES
Elements, 2012It is now universally accepted that the impact of planetesimals, asteroids, and comets has been a fundamental process throughout the Solar System. Catastrophic impact events have been instrumental in developing the early history of the planets and have caused environmental disasters throughout Earth history.

Advances in Space Research, 1991
Abstract A summary of experimental and theoretical studies of atmosphere-related phenomena accompanying high velocity impact processes is presented, including asteroid and comet passage through the atmosphere, their impact on the surfaces of different planetary bodies, blast waves in the atmosphere and their influence on surface life. These phenomena

Meteorite impact crater inventory of turkey
Proceedings of 2nd International Conference on Recent Advances in Space Technologies, 2005. RAST 2005., 2006Interplanetary space is populated with large numbers of small bodies known as meteorites, which are in orbits that can intersect those of planets and moons. Therefore, individual impacts appear on the surfaces of planetary bodies which are called impact craters.

Traces of impact craters in the geoid
Tectonophysics, 1992A well-known method for studying the impact craters on the Earth’s surface is gravity measurements. For practical studies, the gravity measured on the surface must first be reduced to a particular standard. In a simpIe procedure, after subtracting the latitude-dependent normal gravity, the topographic masses outside the geoid are either completely ...

In this chapter, various experiments of impact cratering performed at a laboratory scale will be reviewed. As discussed in Chap. 5, natural planetary craters have a wide variety of shapes. Very high-speed and large-scale impact events must be reproduced to fully mimic the actual planetary craters, which is evidently impossible to accomplish.

Laboratory Craters: Modeling Experiments for Meteorite Impact Craters?
IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 2008In this paper, we reveal the feasibility of obtaining laboratory craters to investigate planetary events such as meteorite craters. Experiments were performed by using 0.44-mum laser beam with energy of les15 J in 350 ps (full-width at half-maximum) on aluminum targets.

The classic studies of the Barringer Crater, Arizona, Ries Crater, South Germany, and more recently Chicxulub impact structure, Yucatan, and other craters, coupled with laboratory high-velocity impact experiments, have established the dynamics of impact cratering, shock metamorphism and ballistic ejecta processes.
