Secondary craters and ejecta across the solar system: Populations and effects on impact‐crater–based chronologies

We review the secondary‐crater research over the past decade, and provide new analyses and simulations that are the first to model an accumulation of a combined primary‐plus‐secondary crater population as discrete cratering events. We develop the secondary populations by using scaling laws to genera...
