One important, almost ubiquitous, tool for understanding the surfaces of solid bodies
throughout the solar system is the study of impact craters. While measuring a distribution of …

Planning of mission toward the lunar polar region is supported here by the analysis and
better understanding of the most frequent landforms: craters on the Moon in the polar region …

The dwarf planet Ceres may have an ice‐rich crust, and subsurface ice exposed by impacts
or endogenic activity would be subject to sublimation. We model surface and subsurface …

The regolith-covered surfaces of asteroids preserve records of geophysical processes that
have occurred both at their surfaces and sometimes also in their interiors. As a result of the …

Abstract Bennu is an~ 500‐m‐diameter rubble‐pile asteroid that is the target of detailed
study by the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security–Regolith …

Most recent studies of crater morphometry on Mars have addressed large craters (D> 5 km)
using elevation models derived from laser altimetry. In the present work, we examine a …

High-resolution mapping of Ceres, Vesta and the icy satellites of Saturn, Uranus and Pluto
reveals a rich variety of well-preserved impact crater morphologies on these low gravity …

Context. Over the past decades, several interplanetary missions have studied small bodies
in situ, leading to major advances in our understanding of their geological and geophysical …

Context. The Yarkovsky–O'Keefe–Radzievskii–Paddack (YORP) effect plays an important
role in the rotational properties and evolution of asteroids. While the YORP effect induced by …

As the primary source of materials measured inside of Von Kármán crater by the Chang'e-4
rover, the absolute model age (AMA) of Finsen crater is derived by the crater size-frequency …
