Scientific paper

We studied the directional distribution of individual ejecta lobes of impact craters on Venus in order to find similarities that could help us to understand processes involved in ejecta formation. We were also interested in how the shape of the lobes affect the fractal properties of outlines of these craters. Ten impact craters with distinct outlines were selected for the study, for which we measured the width, length, angular position and difference from radial direction of the lobes. Oblique impacts seem to divert ejecta lobes near the impact direction more than elsewhere. The shape of lobes seem to be a unique property of a crater, but is not in correlation with the measured fractal dimension values.
