New Dated Impacts on Mars and an Updated Current Cratering Rate
Abstract
New dated craters constrain the current cratering rate on Mars, which we calculate to be ~4x lower than models predict, with a shallower SFD slope. Published martian isochrones should be used with great caution for craters <~50m in diameter.
