Lunar cold spots: Granular flow features and extensive insulating materials surrounding young craters

Abstract: This is an author-produced, peer-reviewed version of this article. The final, definitive version of this document can be found online at Icarus, published by Elsevier. Copyright restrictions may apply. DOI: 10.1016DOI: 10. /j.icarus.2013 Abstract Systematic temperature mapping and high resolution images reveal a previously unrecognized class of small, fresh lunar craters. These craters are distinguished by near-crater deposits with evidence for lateral, ground-hugging transport. More distal, highly insulating … Show more

“…Error bars on the values derived in this study correspond to the 1σ range in fits to the Diviner data. a Mitchell et al, 1973. Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets fall into two categories: cold spots (very recent impact features described by Bandfield et al, 2014) and regional pyroclastic deposits. However, many features have an ambiguous origin, for example, the extensive low-thermal inertia feature surrounding Atlas crater near +45°N, +45°E.…”

“…Using our model, we can compute the temporal variation in the surface temperature from a given set of parameters, such as the grain size and density of the material. By comparing the diurnal temperature profile based on [33][34][35] For asteroids, a thermal infrared imager (TIR) onboard the Hayabusa2 spacecraft is planning to observe asteroid 162173 Ryugu. 36 TIR measurements will play an important role in estimating the grain size on the surface of Ryugu, and subsequently to judge the potential sites for touchdown and regolith sample collection by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft.…”

“…RA is always thought as an important role for the cold anomaly (Chan et al, 2010;Gong and Jin, 2012;Bandfield et al, 2014), which were downloaded from JMARS software (Christensen et al 2009). (12°N, 65.7°E) are all fairly high, which are nearly the highest in the whole study area.…”
