Scaling impact melting and crater dimensions: Implications for the lunar cratering record [PDF]
Meteoritics & Planetary Science, 1998 Abstract— The dimensions of large craters formed by impact are controlled to a large extent by gravity, whereas the volume of impact melt created during the same event is essentially independent of gravity. This “differential scaling” fosters size‐dependent changes in the dynamics of impact‐crater and basin formation as well as in the final ...

Survival of Ancient Lunar Water Affected by Topographic Degradation of Old, Large Complex Craters
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Lunar water is redistributed by various processes. Topographic diffusion affects the transport of water and contributes to its preservation in subsurface layers.

New Lunar Crater Production Function Based on High-Resolution Images
Remote Sensing, 2023 The lunar crater production function describes the general pattern of the size–frequency distribution of craters on the lunar surface, and it is the foundation of the surface dating method via crater counting.

Dark aeolian sediments in Martian craters: Composition and sources [PDF]
, 2011 Our research focuses on the mineralogical characteristics of dark sediment deposits in Martian craters (dunes, dune fields, and sand sheets) and their local sediment sources, carried out on the basis of 70 selected localities.

Simultaneous impact and lunar craters [PDF]
The Moon, 1973 The existence of large terrestrial impact crater doublets and Martian crater doublets that have been inferred to be impact craters demonstrates that simultaneous impact of two or more bodies occurs at nearly the same point on planetary surfaces. An experimental study of simultaneous impact of two projectiles near one another shows that doublet craters ...

Color Differences on the Lunar Surface [PDF]
, 1968 Both a detailed literature survey and a new observational study were performed to determine and extend the knowledge of spectral reflectivity differences (color differences) on the lunar surface in the extended visible wavelength region.

Characterizing Volcanic and Impact Materials in Lunar Craters [PDF]
, 2022 Impact craters on the Moon are typically infilled by either impact or volcanic melt, but outside of a few previously known characteristics, identification can be complicated.

An Effective Lunar Crater Recognition Algorithm Based on Convolutional Neural Network
Remote Sensing, 2020 The lunar crater recognition plays a key role in lunar exploration. Traditional crater recognition methods are mainly based on the human observation that is usually combined with classical machine learning methods. These methods have some drawbacks, such
