On the importance of self-secondaries
Geoscience Letters, 2018 Self-secondaries are secondary craters that are formed on both the continuous ejecta deposits and interior of the parent crater. The possible existence of self-secondaries was proposed in the late 1960s, but their identity, formation mechanism, and ...

Impact Induced Oxidation and Its Implications for Early Mars Climate
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 H2 in a CO2 atmosphere may serve as a potential solution to the early Mars climate paradox, but its unknown sources cast doubts on the proposed mechanism. Impact cratering is an energetic process that may modify the surface redox budget.

V-type Asteroids as the Origin of Mesosiderites
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 We present the results of a campaign of hypervelocity impact experiments on natural mesosiderite targets, using representative main asteroid belt impact speeds. The objective is to document further the surface evolution of iron-rich asteroids.

Mare versus highland lunar impact flash light curve dichotomy
Astronomy & AstrophysicsWe performed a comprehensive analysis of lunar impact flash (LIF) light curve shapes and their dependence on the lunar terrain, using the large sample of LIFs detected by NELIOTA over the last 9 years. We classified 124 multi-frame light curves into mare,

Theoretical and Numerical Study on a Scale Model Test of Planetary Cratering Impact
AerospaceOur investigation delves into the scaling law governing planetary cratering impacts. We meticulously analyze the interplay between dimensionless parameters driving crater growth and the morphological transition of craters and construct the scaling ...

Impact Rates in the Outer Solar System
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Previous studies of cometary impacts in the outer solar system used the spatial distribution of ecliptic comets (ECs) from dynamical models that assumed ECs began on low-inclination orbits (≲5°) in the Kuiper Belt.
