Large impact basins on Mercury: Global distribution, characteristics, and modification history from MESSENGER orbital data

The formation of large impact basins (diameter D ≥ 300 km) was an important process in the early geological evolution of Mercury and influenced the planet's topography, stratigraphy, and crustal structure. We catalog and characterize this basin population on Mercury from global observations by...
