Dimensions of the LINNÉ Craterlet
Abstract
The observations reported in this note refer to the craterlet (about 1.2 kms. in diameter) that is located w!thin the Linné white patch, in selenographic longitude +11.80, latitude +27.7). The craterlet inside the Linne bright spot has been found to have walls 94 meters higher than the surrounding plain, and to be (with much uncertainty) 602 meters deep. Its diameter is approximately 1.2 kilometers. Observations of this craterlet and of those in other lunar bright spots are important for extending the empirical diameter-depth and diameter-height relationships to smaller objects.
