Topographic Features of the Lunar Maria and Basins
Solar System Research, 2021More 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

Lunar maria are not simply large lunar craters. Most craters have raised rims; most maria are bordered partly or wholly by broad zones of downwarping. A satisfactory theory for the origin of maria must provide a genetic link between the origin of the depression and the origin of the material which floors it.

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.

Galileo imaging observations of lunar maria and related deposits
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 1993The Galileo spacecraft imaged parts of the western limb and far side of the Moon in December 1990. Ratios of 0.41/0.56 μm filter images from the Solid State Imaging (SSI) experiment provided information on the titanium content of mare deposits; ratios of the 0.76/0.99 μm images indicated 1 μm absorptions associated with Fe2+ in mafic minerals.

Volcanic features of the nearside equatorial lunar maria
Journal of the Geological Society, 1976A map is presented of the distribution of volcanic features in the lunar maria between longitudes 50°E. and 100°W, and latitudes 50°N. and S. Flood basaltic flows predominate, and where individual flow units can be identified they may be hundreds of kilometres long.

The Missing Craters and Basin Rings Beneath the Lunar Maria
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2023AbstractEvidence for a population of craters buried beneath the nearside lunar maria has been found in the gravity data returned from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory mission. Although the total population of buried and visible craters within maria is comparable to the crater population in non‐mare regions at large diameters, a deficit was ...

Origin of the Lunar Craters and Maria
Nature, 1959RECENT 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 ...
