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 کاملLUNAR ORIENTALE BASIN: NATURE OF IMPACT MELT AND VOLCANIC FLOODING FROM CHANDRAYAAN-1 (M3, TMC, HySI)
Introduction: Many impact basins on the Moon are filled with extensive mare basalts [1]. This obscures a) the primary structure of fresh basin interiors, including the nature and distribution of impact melts, and b) the nature of the early stages of the filling of basins with mare basalts. In contrast, the interior of the Orientale basin, the youngest and most well-preserved large basin on the ...
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 ...
متن کاملNumbers, Distribution and Morphologies of Impact Craters on Titan
Introduction: Titan has very few impact craters [1]. With more than 30% of the surface now imaged by Cassini Radar through data take T44 there are only seven certain impact structures known. Fifty additional possible craters also have been identified. The certain craters have two distinct morphologies, and the probable craters appear to mostly be more degraded version of these two types. The cr...
