Geology of the Selk crater region on Titan from Cassini VIMS observations

, 2010
International audienceObservations of Titan obtained by the Cassini Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) have revealed Selk crater, a geologically young, bright-rimmed, impact crater located similar to 800 km north-northwest of the Huygens ...

Simultaneous impact and lunar craters

, 1972
The existence of large terrestrial impact crater doublets and crater doublets that have been inferred to be impact craters on Mars suggests that simultaneous impact of two or more bodies can occur at nearly the same point on planetary surfaces.

Quantitative Research on the Morphological Characteristics of Lunar Impact Craters of Different Stratigraphic Ages since the Imbrian Period

Remote Sensing
Impact craters serve as recorders of lunar evolutionary history, and determining the stratigraphic ages of craters is crucial. However, the age of many craters on the Moon remains undetermined.

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.

Preimpact porosity controls the gravity signature of lunar craters [PDF]

, 2015
We model the formation of lunar complex craters and investigate the effect of preimpact porosity on their gravity signatures. We find that while preimpact target porosities less than ~7% produce negative residual Bouguer anomalies (BAs), porosities ...

Automated detection of craters on the lunar surface using deep learning: A review with insights from Chandrayaan-2 TMC-2 data

Results in Earth Sciences
The Moon’s surface, marked by craters, serves as a crucial record of the Solar System's impact history, offering key insights into planetary formation and evolution.

Use of orbiting reflectors to decrease the technological challenges of surviving the lunar night

, 2011
In this paper the feasibility of using lunar reflectors to decrease the technological challenges of surviving the lunar night is investigated. This is achieved by attempting to find orbits in the two-body problem where the argument of periapsis is ...
