Pitted Terrain on Vesta and Implications for the Presence of Volatiles. [PDF]

, 2012
We investigated the origin of unusual pitted terrain on asteroid Vesta, revealed in images from the Dawn spacecraft. Pitted terrain is characterized by irregular rimless depressions found in and around several impact craters, with a distinct morphology

Oblique impact cratering experiments in brittle targets: Implications for elliptical craters on the Moon [PDF]

, 2017
Most impact craters observed on planetary bodies are the results of oblique impacts of meteoroids. To date, however, there have only been very few laboratory oblique impact experiments for analogue targets relevant to the surfaces of extraterrestrial ...

A Machine Learning Approach to Crater Classification from Topographic Data

Remote Sensing, 2019
Craters contain important information on geological history and have been widely used for dating absolute age and reconstructing impact history. The impact process results in a lot of ejected fragments and these fragments may form secondary craters ...
