Model Age Derivation of Large Martian Impact Craters, Using Automatic Crater Counting Methods
Earth and Space Science, 2021 Determining when an impact crater formed is a complex and tedious task. However, this knowledge is crucial to understanding the geological history of planetary bodies and, more specifically, gives information on erosion rate measurements, meteorite ...

What Is a Polygonal Impact Crater? A Proposed Framework Toward Quantifying Crater Shapes
Earth and Space Science, 2023 Impact craters are used for a wide array of investigations of planetary surfaces. A crater form that is somewhat rare, forming only ∼10% of impact craters, is the polygonal impact crater (or PIC).

Impact crater degradation, Oxia Planum, Mars
Journal of Maps, 2021 The main goal of the European Space Agency (ESA) and Roscosmos ExoMars rover mission is to collect samples from the near-subsurface of Mars. The rover will look for any physical or chemical evidence of ancient life in the near subsurface.

Self-Secondaries Formed by Cold Spot Craters on the Moon
Remote Sensing, 2021 Self-secondaries are a population of background secondaries, and they have been observed on top of impact melt and ballistically emplaced ejecta deposits on various planetary bodies.

Magnetic Field Signatures of Intermediate-sized Impact Craters on Mars
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Magnetic field signatures over impact craters provide constraints for the history of the Martian dynamo. Due to limitations of the spatial resolution of magnetic field models, previous studies primarily focused on large impact craters (mostly ≥ 500 km in

Morphological Features-Based Descriptive Index System for Lunar Impact Craters
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2017 Lunar impact craters are important for studying lunar surface morphology because they are the most typical morphological units of the Moon. Impact crater descriptive indices can be used to describe morphological features and thus provide direct evidence ...
