متن کاملThe missing large impact craters on Ceres
Asteroids provide fundamental clues to the formation and evolution of planetesimals. Collisional models based on the depletion of the primordial main belt of asteroids predict 10-15 craters >400 km should have formed on Ceres, the largest object between Mars and Jupiter, over the last 4.55 Gyr. Likewise, an extrapolation from the asteroid Vesta would require at least 6-7 such basins. However, C...
متن کاملPitted terrains on (1) Ceres and implications for shallow subsurface volatile distribution
Prior to the arrival of the Dawn spacecraft at Ceres, the dwarf planet was anticipated to be ice-rich. Searches for morphological features related to ice have been ongoing during Dawn's mission at Ceres. Here we report the identification of pitted terrains associated with fresh Cerean impact craters. The Cerean pitted terrains exhibit strong morphological similarities to pitted materials previo...
متن کاملRing-mold craters in lineated valley fill and lobate debris aprons on Mars: Evidence for subsurface glacial ice
[1] Ring-mold craters (RMCs), concentric crater forms shaped like a truncated torus and named for their similarity to the cooking implement, are abundant in lobate debris aprons (LDA) and lineated valley fill (LVF) in the northern mid-latitudes on Mars, but are not seen in surrounding terrain. LDA and LVF have been interpreted to form by flow of debris, but uncertainty remains concerning the me...
متن کاملSurface-to-subsurface velocity projection for shallow water currents
Sea surface currents in coastal oceans are accessible to continuous direct observations by shore-based high-frequency Doppler radar systems. Inferring current structure in shallow water from such surface current observations is attempted. The approach assumes frictionally dominated flow and vertically varying current velocity on the scale of the Ekman boundary layer. The approximation of the ve...
