Evaluating Lunar Crater Ejecta Maturation across Wavelengths

The Planetary Science Journal
Ejecta blankets of young lunar craters provide an important window into the maturation processes of material at the lunar surface. As freshly exposed material degrades, the signature of that material changes in remote sensing data.

Central peaks in lunar craters [PDF]

The Moon, 1975
Central peak features in 580 craters on the lunar near side were systematically studied, and detailed studies were made of several features of interest, in an attempt to define the mechanism of central peak formation. The peaks tend to be elongated along the preferred directions of the lunar grid.

Comparative studies of lunar, Martian, and Mercurian craters and plains [PDF]

The spatial distribution of lunar smooth plains is not consistent with experimental simulations of melt rock emplacement during cratering in layered materials. Nor is it consistent with the location of melt rocks (suevite) near the Ries basin.

The micrometeoroid complex and evolution of the lunar regolith [PDF]

The interaction of the micrometeoroid complex with the lunar surface is evidenced by numerous glass-lined microcraters on virtually every lunar surface exposed to space.
