Back to the Moon: The scientific rationale for resuming lunar surface exploration (2012, background): “For example, there are no calibration points that are older than about 3.85 Ga, and crater ages younger than about 3 Ga are also uncertain (e.g. Hiesinger et al., 2012).”
The distribution and origin of smooth plains on Mercury (2013, unknown): “, physical strength of the material) resulted in smaller crater sizes for a given projectile size [Schultz et al., 1977; van der Bogert et al., 2010; Hiesinger et al., 2012].”
China's Chang'e-5 landing site: Geology, stratigraphy, and provenance of materials (2021, background): “Three large Copernican craters to the southeast of Em4/P58 (Aristarchus, Copernicus, and Kepler) also provide a significant amount of ejecta, especially Copernicus crater.”
The variability of crater identification among expert and community crater analysts (2014, methodology): “…studies have shown this to not always be true; variations in crater identification and diameter measurement on the order of ~10% between individuals using the same measuring technique have been found (e.g., Gault, 1970; Greeley and Gault, 1970; Kirchoff et al., 2011; Hiesinger et al., 2012).”
