Topographic Features of the Lunar Maria and Basins

Solar System Research, 2021
More than 70 topographic profiles of 34 large lunar maria and basins were constructed and studied in order to obtain quantitative values of the parameters that characterize these formations, to identify patterns and features of their relief. The dependence of the absolute height of the bottom and the depth of the basins on latitude, longitude, size and

The lunar maria

Planetary and Space Science, 1961
Abstract The hypothesis proposed by Gold that the lunar maria are composed of dust is shown to give a detailed explanation of the present appearance of the maria. It is also shown that many bright rays may not have the extent and intensity as they had when they were formed.

Origin of the Lunar Craters and Maria

Nature, 1959
RECENT observations by Kozyrev (private communication) of transient emission bands of the carbon molecule in the spectrum of the central peak of the lunar crater Alphonsus have strikingly re-opened the age-old problem of the origin of these most characteristic landmarks of the lunar surface; and the dilemma between the volcanic and impact phenomena ...

Lunar ring structures and the nature of the maria

Planetary and Space Science, 1968
Abstract Data from Lunar Orbiter and Surveyor probes are used in an examination of specific, low walled lunar rings to show that they are recent volcanic structures. The alternative hypothesis that these ‘elementary’ rings represent old, partially buried craters is challenged. Their observed distribution and the mechanism of formation deduced for

The ages of the lunar maria and the filling of the mare basins

Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 1977
Abstract The age discrepancy between lunar highlands and mare is examined in terms of a hydrostatic head model incorporating an impact crater being fed continuously from depth with basaltic magma. It is shown that if the age difference is attributed to the filling time of the impact basin, the dimensions of the volcanic feeder conduits are of the ...
