  • Martian Crater Morphology
    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971. Because at the recent General Assemblies some small changes, or corrections, were made, the complete list of Lunar and Martian Topographic Features is published here.

  • Evidence for Late Alluvial Activity in Gale Crater, Mars
    Evidence for late alluvial activity in Gale crater, Mars John A. Grant 1, and Sharon A. Wilson 1 1Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, USA. Corresponding author: John A. Grant ([email protected]). Key Points: Local alluvial deposits in Gale crater were likely emplaced less than 2 Ga, post-dating more widespread water-related deposits in Gale. Water associated with the younger alluvial deposits may be related to late-occurring diagenetic activity. Alluvial deposits formed when Aeolis Mons achieved its present expression, suggesting late-occurring habitable conditions within Gale. 1 Abstract The occurrence of past habitable conditions in Gale crater is generally associated with lacustrine and alluvial environments present >3 Ga ago, during the Hesperian Period on Mars. However, later-occurring aqueous activity is consistent with superposition relations between some alluvial deposits and bounding materials on the crater walls, preservation of fine-scale morphology on these alluvial deposits, and their superposing crater densities. The alluvial deposits include some not previously considered, and collectively lend confidence to the interpretation that local aqueous activity persisted in Gale crater into the Amazonian, or <2 Ga ago. Our conclusions are generally in accordance with late aqueous activity inferred from geochronology data (Martin et al., 2017), in addition to late alluvial activity elsewhere. Interpreted late aqueous activity points to possible habitable settings in Gale later than previously recognized. Plain Language Summary Several fan-shaped deposits on the walls and floor of Gale crater formed via deposition of water transported sediment. Overall, the fan deposits are fairly well preserved, and the number of impact craters on their surfaces indicate they are much younger (~2 billion years old or less) relative to the older, more widespread water-related deposits that formed in the crater over 3 billion years ago.

  • The Antiquarian Astronomer
    The Antiquarian Astronomer Journal of the Society for the History of Astronomy Issue 9 August 2015 ISSN 1740–3677 The Antiquarian Astronomer Journal of the Society for the History of Astronomy On the cover: Conjuring with Mars Two giants of Mars observation stand side-by-side on our cover: Giovanni Virginio Schiaparelli (1835–1910), who at the close opposition of Mars in 1877 saw linear markings on the planet’s red surface that he termed canali; and on the right Percival Lowell (1855–1916), who transformed Schiaparelli’s enigmatic lines into what he regarded as a global network of canals dug by intelligent beings to irrigate a parched planet. They were illusions – really, delusions – that danced in the eyepiece at the hazy limit where imagination supplanted perception. Percival Lowell’s vivid vision of an inhabited Mars, colourfully articulated in popular books and lectures, was one of the most romantic, yet hopelessly flawed, notions of 20th-century astronomy. Firmly entrenched in public consciousness long after it had been rejected by planetary scientists, the fanciful fiction of life on Mars foreshadowed the widespread belief in alien life today. Its social impact was expressed most famously in the public panic sparked by the famous War of the Worlds radio broadcast by Orson Welles in 1938, staged so convincingly that some listeners were persuaded that the Earth was indeed under attack from hostile Martians.
