Craters: Dark Halo, Cryptomare, Experiments: Impact, Spectra

Scientific paper

The use of DHCs in studies of cryptomare has necessitated a refinement in our understanding of their formation. To this end, a series of impact experiments into layered targets of sand was undertaken in order to determine the depth of mare penetration required to form a dark halo (d(sub)m). Preliminary analysis of experimental results indicates that dm may equal 3-10% of the crater depth. Caution must be used in applying this value, since experimental conditions do not exactly simulate the spectral characteristics of the Moon.
