The results of the present simplified modeling of the size and rim shape of the Phobos crater Stickney, together with the impact-generated stress patterns on the surface of the crater, account for the general features observed and suggest, on the basis of some of the P-waves' surface stress pattern, that a region of higher tensile stress may have occurred in the vicinity of 0 deg latitude and 270 deg W. The correlation of this pattern with the focusing of groove patterns that occurs on the trailing side of Phobos is suggested to demonstrate a connection between these grooves and the Stickney crater-forming impact.
