متن کاملImpact craters on Titan
Five certain impact craters and 44 additional nearly certain and probable ones have been identified on the 22% of Titan’s surface imaged by Cassini’s high-resolution radar through December 2007. The certain craters have morphologies similar to impact craters on rocky planets, as well as two with radar bright, jagged rims. The less certain craters often appear to be eroded versions of the certai...
متن کاملThe missing large impact craters on Ceres
Asteroids provide fundamental clues to the formation and evolution of planetesimals. Collisional models based on the depletion of the primordial main belt of asteroids predict 10-15 craters >400 km should have formed on Ceres, the largest object between Mars and Jupiter, over the last 4.55 Gyr. Likewise, an extrapolation from the asteroid Vesta would require at least 6-7 such basins. However, C...
متن کاملA Catalog of Impact Craters on Ganymede
Introduction: Previous crater catalogs for Ganymede were based on Voyager analysis but Galileo data provides improved resolutions in the areas where it covered the moon and also helped fill in regions not imaged or imaged poorly by Voyager. Voyager and Galileo images combine to reveal the diversity of impact craters on this icy Jovian satellite. Previous studies cataloged the interior morpholog...
متن کاملUpdates on Martian Oblique Impact Craters
Introduction: Previously we had used the global imagery from Viking to compile a database of oblique impact forms with diameter D > 5 km for the northern hemisphere of Mars [1,2]. We found that, although the craters have ramparts indicative of surface flow, the planforms of the ejecta are similar to the dry-vacuum ballistic patterns for experimental and lunar craters [3,4]. The martian planform...
