Bajada del Diablo impact crater-strewn field: The largest crater field in the Southern Hemisphere
(Elsevier Science, 2009-08)
Recent remote sensing analyses and field studies have shown that Bajada del Diablo, in Argentina, is a new crater-strewn field. Bajada del Diablo is located in a remote area of Chubut Province, Patagonia. This amazing ...
Craters produced by underground explosions
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-11)
Extensive research activities in the field of blast loads have taken place in the last few decades. There are many experimental results related to underground explosions. The mechanism of crater formation is complex and ...
The Carancas meteorite impact crater, Peru: Geologic surveying and modeling of crater formation and atmospheric passage
(The Meteoritical SocietyUS, 2009-07)
The recent Carancas meteorite impact event caused a worldwide sensation. An H4–5 chondrite struck the Earth south of Lake Titicaca in Peru on September 15, 2007, and formed a crater 14.2 m across. It is the smallest, ...
Crater formation caused by nanoparticle impact: A molecular dynamics study of crater volume and shape
(American Physical Society, 2012-06-20)
We present molecular-dynamics simulations of cratering induced by projectiles containing N ∼= 10–106 atoms in the velocity regime of 1–70 km/s. Self-bombardment of a condensed Ar and a Cu target are studied. We corroborate ...
El cráter de impacto Chicxulub y el límite Cretácico/Paleógeno
(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Dirección General de Cómputo y de Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación. Revista Digital Universitaria., 2015-06-01)
En el origen y evolución temprana del Sistema Solar, las colisiones, fragmentación y agregación de cuerpos de diferentes tamaños fueron el proceso que permitió la formación de planetesimales, satélites y planetas. Los ...
