Review and Revision of the Lunar Cratering Chronology—Lunar Timescale Part 2
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Times and rates of planetary surface-modifying processes are crucial for the sequence and correlation of events on planetary bodies. For most planetary surfaces, superposition principles and crater densities are commonly used methods to collect relative ...

A New View of the Lunar South Pole from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA)
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Upcoming missions to the lunar south pole require detailed maps over large areas to fully characterize landing sites locally and regionally and to place their data into proper geologic context.

Remote Sensing, 2022 On 9 October 2009, multiple telescopes were used in a coordinated international observing campaign to acquire ground-based time series imaging to monitor the evolution of the impact plume from NASA’s Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS)

Recognition of landslides in lunar impact craters [PDF]
European Journal of Remote Sensing, 2017 Landslides have been observed on several planets and minor bodies of the solar System, including the Moon. Notwithstanding different types of slope failures have been studied on the Moon, a detailed lunar landslide inventory is still pending. Undoubtedly, such will be in a benefit for future geological and morphological studies, as well in hazard, risk

Peak-ring structure and kinematics from a multi-disciplinary study of the Schrödinger impact basin
Nature Communications, 2016 Impact basins on the Moon are considered as the best landing sites for the recovery of information about the lunar interior. To inform future lunar missions, Kringet al.

Lunar-forming impacts: processes and alternatives [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2014 Abstract The formation of a protolunar disc by a giant impact with the early Earth is discussed, focusing on two classes of impacts: (i) canonical impacts, in which a Mars-sized impactor produces a planet–disc system whose angular momentum is comparable to that in the current Earth and Moon, and (ii) high-angular-momentum impacts ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 In the original hypothesis of ice in lunar polar cold traps, it was presumed that meteoritic water acquired by the lunar surface would be concentrated in cold traps by exospheric lateral transport. That supposition is proven to be false by the absence of

The Observation of Lunar Impacts
, 2000 The intense activity of cratering on the Moon and in the inner regions of the solar system was accomplished during the first 10^9 years [1]. Occasionally, some impact events occur even nowadays. In Section 1, we treat, from a historical point of view, the Earth-based observation of lunar impacts.
