Recalibration of the lunar chronology due to spatial cratering-rate variability - Data and code
Authors/Creators
- 1. Space Science and Technology Centre, School of Earth and Planetary Science, Curtin University: Perth, Australia.
Description
- CR_moon.csv: Relative cratering rate shown in Fig.2. The data are provided over the full range of latitudes and longitudes, with a 1-degree bin.
- cr_lefeuvre2011.txt: Relative cratering rate proposed by Le Feuvre and Wieczorek (2011). The data are provided over the full range of latitudes and longitudes, with a 1-degree bin.
- lunar_calib_points.csv: Table summarising the lunar chronology calibration points used in this study.
- Lagain_AA_convert_age.m: Matlab code converting model ages of Plutarch and Kirkwood craters from Neukum et al. (2001) chronology into the one presented in this study. The code also computes the chronology model from Le Feuvre and Wieczorek (2011) and the one presented in this study for different locations, and compares it with the Neukum et al. (2001) chronology.
