Morphometric parameters of fresh lunar craters

We study the morphometric parameters of 111 lunar craters with a diameter of 10 km or more, the formation of which, according to some researchers, can be attributed to the Copernican period. These craters were selected by analyzing data from the Diviner spectrometer on board the LRO probe. The purpose of this work is to study the morphometric characteristics of such craters in order to identify their characteristic features. According to the results obtained, the morphometric parameters of the fresh lunar craters are significantly similar to the morphometric parameters of lunar craters of the 1st degree of degradation (well-preserved craters) according to the classification of the SAI MSU.

Abstract

We study the morphometric parameters of 111 lunar craters with a diameter of 10 km or more, the formation of which, according to some researchers, can be attributed to the Copernican period. These craters were selected by analyzing data from the Diviner spectrometer on board the LRO probe. The purpose of this work is to study the morphometric characteristics of such craters in order to identify their characteristic features. According to the results obtained, the morphometric parameters of the fresh lunar craters are significantly similar to the morphometric parameters of lunar craters of the 1st degree of degradation (well-preserved craters) according to the classification of the SAI MSU.
