Lunar Early Impact Flux Revealed by Mare Buried Impact Craters

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets
Abstract The ambiguity in the crater density of the lunar surface formed before ∼4.0 Ga, primarily resulting from extensive resurfacing processes such as mare volcanism and basin ejecta deposition, has led to long‐standing debates about the lunar early impact flux and chronology.

Lunar Impact Flashes and their Resultant Craters 

Impact craters have been identified on almost every type of celestial body, and are among the most destructive processes. The lunar surface is covered in craters ranging from 2500km in diameter, down to sub-millimetre scale, and >600 lunar impact flash (LIF) events have been observed by ground based telescopes, detecting the generated light.

Interpretation of Lunar Topography: Impact Cratering and Surface Roughness

2014
This work seeks to understand past and present surface conditions on the Moon using two different but complementary approaches: topographic analysis using high-resolution elevation data from recent spacecraft missions and forward modeling of the dominant agent of lunar surface modification, impact cratering.

Lunar Surface Change Detection with PyNAPLE: The 2017-09-27 Lunar Impact Flash and Impact Crater

AbstractOn 2017-09-27 at 18:56:12 UT a large meteoroid impacted the lunar surface, causing an impact flash with a duration of 1.12 seconds. Using Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera images, and the PyNAPLE (Python NAC Automatic Pair Lunar Evaluator) software pipeline, the resultant crater was identified.
