Shock Metamorphism of Lunar Minerals
Space: Science & TechnologyImpact events have played a crucial role in the formation and evolution of the Moon, as evidenced by the numerous of impact craters on its surface, indicating a long history spanning over 4 billion years characterized by numerous such occurrences. As the

Lunar Polar Dichotomy: Insights from Crater Morphometry
The Planetary Science JournalThe lunar poles exhibit a puzzling dichotomy in crater depth-to-diameter ( d / D ) ratios. At the south pole, crater depths decrease toward the pole, and previous studies have mainly attributed this trend to water-ice infilling.

Study on the Degradation Pattern of Impact Crater Populations in Yutu-2′s Rovering Area
Remote SensingA detailed analysis of the panoramic camera data from the 27th to 33rd lunar days was conducted on the high-resolution scenes captured by the Yutu-2 rover stations. This analysis aimed to determine the detailed morphological parameters of the 2015 impact

Global Lunar Crater Density Using Buffered Nonsparseness Correction
The Planetary Science JournalThe density of craters on a planetary surface directly relates to the age of the surface. As the surface ages, however, craters can be erased by subsequent large impacts via direct overprinting, known as geometric crater obliteration.

The Microstructure of Lunar Micrometeorite Impact Craters [PDF]
, 2016 The peak of the mass flux of impactors striking the lunar surface is made up of objects approximately 200 micrometers in diameter that erode rocks, comminute regolith grains, and produce agglutinates.

Laboratory Studies of Hypervelocity Impacts on Solar System Analogues [PDF]
, 2015 Impact cratering and asteroid collisions are major processes throughout the Solar System. Although previous collision-related impact investigations exist (Flynn et al. 2015, Holsapple et al. 2002 and Burchell et al.
