Hecate Chasma is a deep trough characterized by a chain-like concentration of coronae and corona-like features trending approximately southwest-northeast between approximately 200 and 260 degrees east longitude (terminating at Beta Regio). The section of Hecate in which we have concentrated our study is centered at 15N, 249, where the trough is especially well-defined. Nearby, a smaller chain of eight coronae lies along a minor trough parallel to the general trend of the greater chain. The trough itself is unusual in this area because it has a highly asymmetric profile. Using Magellan radar and topography data, we have examined the morphology of this area in order to assess the tectonic and volcanic history of the area. After examining the most important types of features (linear, arcuate and circular) in eastern Hecate, we present two possible models of origin. A companion abstract presents an overview of the Hecate and Parga linear deformation zones.
