IMPACT CRATER COLLAPSE

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1999
▪ Abstract  The detailed morphology of impact craters is now believed to be mainly caused by the collapse of a geometrically simple, bowl-shaped “transient crater.” The transient crater forms immediately after the impact. In small craters, those less than approximately 15 km diameter on the Moon, the steepest part of the rim collapses into the crater ...

An Improved Global Catalog of Lunar Impact Craters (≥1 km) With 3D Morphometric Information and Updates on Global Crater Analysis

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2021
Impact craters are common surface features on planetary surfaces. Their distribution offers important clues regarding geological and temporal processes on the Moon.

Copernican‐Aged (<200 Ma) Impact Ejecta at the Chang'e‐5 Landing Site: Statistical Evidence From Crater Morphology, Morphometry, and Degradation Models

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
Chang'e‐5 successfully returned ∼1,731 g of lunar samples on December 17, 2020. We systematically studied the morphology and morphometry of craters surrounding the Chang'e‐5 site based on high‐resolution images.

A New Global Database of Lunar Impact Craters >1–2 km: 1. Crater Locations and Sizes, Comparisons With Published Databases, and Global Analysis

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2019
This paper presents a new, global database of lunar impact craters, estimated to be a complete census of all craters with diameters larger than 1–2 km. The database contains over 2 million craters, making it larger in number than any previously published

Meteorite impact crater inventory of turkey

Proceedings of 2nd International Conference on Recent Advances in Space Technologies, 2005. RAST 2005., 2006
Interplanetary 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.

Laboratory Craters: Modeling Experiments for Meteorite Impact Craters?

IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 2008
In 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.
