Scientific paper

Thanks to the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) data, we are now able to observe the small size craters (<30 m) to define the size frequency distribution (SFD) in these diameter bins on the Moon. We worked on one of the youngest surface of the Moon: Tycho crater that has been estimated to be 109±4 My old. We report that the crater size distribution of impacts smaller than 30 m in diameter refined the shape of the known isochrons for diameter ranging from 30 m to 1 km. Our preliminary results suggest a younger model age and also suggest that the target properties may play a role in this range of crater size.
