Scientific paper

New gravity and magnetic data have been collected in- and outside of the Roter Kamm impact crater. As in previous studies, the traverses did not extend sufficiently beyond the rims, and, hence, the regional values were not adequetely constrained. The gravity results of this study were similar to those of Fudali: a negative, near-symmetrical anomaly was obtained over the crater center, which conforms to that expected for a sediment-filled, simple bowl-shaped crater. The magnetic results of this study, however, are different from those reported earlier, most probably due to the longer profiles of this study. A slight positive magnetic anomaly was obtained over the crater interior, and, as noted by Fudali and Reimold et al., magnetic noise was observed in the vicinity of the rim. We also report on a first finding of suevitic breccia at Roter Kamm.
