This dichotomy is also present in the physical properties of the surface as derived from the study of craters depth-to-diameter ratios. Craters on the northern hemisphere have a typical d/D distribution comparable to all other asteroids visited so far, whereas the southern craters appear deeper than expected and show a distinct profile in the cumulative distribution. This may be an indication for a higher strength material on the surface, or a regolith layer not as thick as the one in the northern hemisphere. We will present here a first estimation of the thickness based on the study of buried craters.
