The Length of Martian Crater Rays and Their Relation to Lunar Cold Spots

Trevor P. Erwin, Brandon C. Johnson, David Minton +1

Impact-generated crater rays are well-documented on the Moon, with most appearing as high-albedo streaks extending radially from a crater's center. On Mars, however, crater rays ar…

The Effects of Early Collisional Evolution on Amorphous Water Ice Bodies

Jordan K. Steckloff, Gal Sarid, Brandon C. Johnson

Conditions in the outer protoplanetary disk during Solar System formation were thought to be favorable for the formation of amorphous water ice (AWI),a glassy phase of water ice. H…

Methane-saturated layers limit the observability of impact craters on Titan

Shigeru Wakita, Brandon C. Johnson, Jason M. Soderblom +2

As the only icy satellite with a thick atmosphere and liquids on its surface, Titan represents a unique end-member to study the impact cratering process. Unlike craters on other Sa…

How Sublimation Delays the Onset of Dusty Debris Disk Formation Around White Dwarf Stars

Jordan K. Steckloff, John Debes, Amy Steele +4

Although numerous white dwarf stars host dusty debris disks, the temperature distribution of these stars differs significantly from the white dwarf population as a whole. Dusty deb…

Effect of ice sheet thickness on formation of the Hiawatha impact crater

Elizabeth A. Silber, Brandon C. Johnson, Evan Bjonnes +3

The discovery of a large putative impact crater buried beneath Hiawatha Glacier along the margin of the northwestern Greenland Ice Sheet has reinvigorated interest into the nature…

Jetting during oblique impacts of spherical impactors

Shigeru Wakita, Brandon Johnson, C. Adeene Denton +1

During the early stages of an impact a small amount material may be jetted and ejected at speeds exceeding the impact velocity. Jetting is an important process for producing melt d…
