Buto Facula, Ganymede: Palimpsest Exemplar
Jeffrey M. Moore, Oliver L. White, Donald G. Korycansky +3
Nowhere in the solar system are impact morphologies observed in greater variety than on the icy Galilean satellites. This is likely a consequence of the structural and thermal stat…

Dome Craters on Ganymede and Callisto May Form by Topographic Relaxation of Pit Craters Aided by Remnant Impact Heat
Martina L. Caussi, Andrew J. Dombard, Donald G. Korycansky +3
The icy Galilean satellites display impact crater morphologies that are rare in the Solar System. They deviate from the archetypal sequence of crater morphologies as a function of…

Large Impact Features on Ganymede and Callisto as Revealed by Geological Mapping and Morphometry
Oliver L. White, Jeffrey M. Moore, Paul M. Schenk +4
We have performed topographic and geological mapping of 19 large impact features on Ganymede and Callisto in order to gather morphometric and crater age data that allow us to quant…
