Increase in cratering efficiency with target curvature in strength-controlled craters
Ayako I. Suzuki, Chisato Okamoto, Kosuke Kurosawa +3
Impact-cratering processes on small bodies are thought to be mainly controlled by the local material strength because of their low surface gravity, and craters that are as large as…
Hydrocode modeling of the spallation process during hypervelocity impacts: Implications for the ejection of Martian meteorites
Kosuke Kurosawa, Takaya Okamoto, Hidenori Genda
Hypervelocity ejection of material by impact spallation is considered a plausible mechanism for material exchange between two planetary bodies. We have modeled the spallation proce…
A Lower Limit of Atmospheric Pressure on Early Mars Inferred from Nitrogen and Argon Isotopic Compositions
Hiroyuki Kurokawa, Kosuke Kurosawa, Tomohiro Usui
We examine the history of the loss and replenishment of the Martian atmosphere using elemental and isotopic compositions of nitrogen and noble gases. The evolution of the atmospher…
