Abstract: Abstract In recent work, radar circular polarization echo properties have been used to identify secondary craters without distinctive “secondary” morphologies. Because of the potential for this method to improve our knowledge of secondary crater populations—in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2017je005446
Abstract: Secondary impact craters, features created by projectiles ejected from a primary impact, contain important information about the primary cratering event and the nature and distribution of its ejecta. The Orientale impact basin (D similar to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tgrs.2022.3195201
Abstract: Secondary craters (i.e., secondaries) formed by the landing of impact ejecta are an important crater population in planetary geology. Typical secondaries on planetary surfaces occur in chains and clusters, and they have irregular-shaped crater rims… read more here.
