Scientific paper

Fifteen peak-ring craters, defined by a distinct outer rim and an inner ring of concentrically-arranged peaks, have been revealed by the examination of Arecibo and Venera 15/16 radar images of Venus. The overall morphology of these craters is similar to that of peak-ring craters on the other terrestrial planets, but the craters are of much smaller diameters. Nevertheless, the effective viscosities are low enough at depth to allow inward asthenospheric flow.
