Craters

This listing of craters uses the IAU-approved names for the handful that have them, and the numbers in the Wood et al (2010) paper for others. NL are numbers for 10 craters in Neish and Lorenz (2012) update. Other newly recognized craters since 2010 are numbered W-x where W stands for Wood and X is the crater diameter.  Note that crater diameters have been newly measured, and often are larger than in older lists. This is because some earlier measurements appear to be for crater floors rather than rim crests.

  1. This is a great idea! I am currently studying the relaxation of Titan's craters :)
    I was actually looking for more information on the crater Hano. Perhaps you can help?
