Formation of the Orientale lunar multiring basin.
Multiring basins, large impact craters characterized by multiple concentric topographic rings, dominate the stratigraphy, tectonics, and crustal structure of the Moon. Using a hydrocode, we simulated the formation of the Orientale multiring basin, producing a subsurface structure consistent with high-resolution gravity data from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) spacecraft. T...
متن کاملThickness of proximal ejecta from the Orientale Basin from Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) data: Implications for multi‐ring basin formation
[1] Quantifying the ejecta distribution around large lunar basins is important to understanding the origin of basin rings, the volume of the transient cavity, the depth of sampling, and the nature of the basin formation processes. We have used newly obtained altimetry data of the Moon from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter (LOLA) instrument to estimate the thickness of ejecta in the region surr...
متن کاملThe Effects of Basin Formation on the Lunar Geochemical Terranes
Introduction: The early history of the Moon, namely the first ~700 My following its formation, was an era marked by the formation of 43 basins (impact craters >300 km in diameter) [1,2,3]. Basin formation during this period had significant effects on the entire lunar crust; material from depth was excavated and redistributed across the entire surface [4]. The material redistributed by basins ca...
متن کاملThe Maturely, Immature Orientale Impact Basin
Introduction: The Moon is consistently bombarded by large and small projectiles that weather its surface. This includes micrometeorites, cosmic and solar rays, and solar wind implantation and sputtering in a process known as space weathering. Based on data from the Clementine spacecraft, several studies [2, 4, 5] have shown that the degree of this process imparted upon the lunar surface can be ...
