A new chronology for the Moon and Mercury
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a new method for dating the surface of the Moon, obtained by modeling the incoming flux of impactors and converting it into a size distribution of resulting craters. We compare the results from this model with the standard chronology for the Moon showing their similarities and discrepancies. In particular, we find indications of a non-constant impactor flux in the last 500 Myr and also discuss the implications of our findings for the Late Heavy Bombardment hypothesis. We also show the potential of our model for accurate dating of other inner Solar System bodies, by applying it to Mercury. Subject headings: solar system: general — planets and satellites: Earth, Mercury, Moon

متن کاملReassessment of the Upper Fremont Glacier Ice-Core Chronologies by Synchronizing of Ice-Core-Water Isotopes to a Nearby Tree-Ring Chronology.
The Upper Fremont Glacier (UFG), Wyoming, is one of the few continental glaciers in the contiguous United States known to preserve environmental and climate records spanning recent centuries. A pair of ice cores taken from UFG have been studied extensively to document changes in climate and industrial pollution (most notably, mid-19th century increases in mercury pollution). Fundamental to thes...
متن کاملApplication of Differential Kinetic Method Using ANN with a New Synthetic Reagent for Simultaneous Spectrophotometric Determination of Mercury and Palladium
A new selective reagent was used for simultaneous determination of mercury and palladium in real samples with their different kinetic spectrophotometric properties. The method is based on the difference in the rate of the oxidation reaction of the recently synthesized reagent, nitro benzoyl diphenylmethylen phosphorane (N-BDMP), with Hg2+ and Pd2+. The kinetic profiles were monitored and record...
متن کاملThe effect of collection time on essential oil of Oliveria decumbens Vent.
Background and objectives: Oliveria decumbens belongs to Apiaceae family and is used in wide range of diseases such as gastrointestinal disorder. Several studies have shown that Oliveria decumbens essential oil possessed high amount of thymol and carvacrol but some other studies revealed that myristicin was one of the main components of the oil. The aim of the...
متن کاملApplication of FFT Cyclic Voltammetry for Monitoring Removal of Mercury Ions from Aqueous Environment using New Adsorbent based Modified Mesoporous Silica (SBA–15)
As the electrochemical method, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Stripping Cyclic Voltammetry detection method was designed for measurement and monitoring of adsorbed mercury ions by new modified adsorbent based on mesoporous silica as a new adsorbent. In this respect, SBA-15 as mesoporous silica and 1, 3, 5 Trithiane as effective modifier ligand were chosen, and the modification process was car...
