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 کاملLunar cryptomaria: Mineralogy and composition of ancient volcanic deposits
Ancient lunar volcanic deposits, known as cryptomaria, have been detected by remote telescopic and orbital measurements since the 1970s. Cryptomaria are most easily identified by the presence of darkhalo impact craters and are associated with a mare basalt mineralogy, which is indicated by two pyroxene spectral absorption features near 1 μm and 2 μm in the visible to near-infrared (VNIR) wavele...
متن کاملLunar cryptomaria: Physical characteristics, distribution, and implications for ancient volcanism
Cryptomaria, lunar volcanic deposits obscured by crater and basin impact ejecta, can provide important information about the thermal and volcanic history of the Moon. The timing of cryptomare deposition has implications for the duration and flux of mare basalt volcanism. In addition, knowing the distribution of cryptomaria can provide information about mantle convection and lunar magma ocean so...
