Citations in the corpus
- What are the real constraints on the existence and magnitude of the late heavy bombardment (2007, background): “The same picture is seen in a slightly larger sampling of OCs, as well as for HEDs and mesosiderites, reported by Kring and Cohen (2002).”
- EVIDENCE FROM THE ASTEROID BELT FOR A VIOLENT PAST EVOLUTION OF JUPITER's ORBIT (2010, result): “It was argued (Kring & Cohen, 2002) that the basin-forming projectiles were neither comets nor primitive asteroids, in contrast with our result.”
- Cratering History and Lunar Chronology (2006, background): “The second major problem of issue (d) is the lack of old impact melt lithologies, which has been used in favor of a late cataclysm (e.g., Ryder 1990a; Kring and Cohen 2002).”
- Impact‐induced hydrothermal activity on early Mars (2005, background): “This cataclysm was not limited to the EarthMoon system as meteorites from multiple bodies in the asteroid belt, as well as the only sample of the ancient Martian crust (meteorite ALH 84001), show effects of impact-induced metamorphism at 3.9 Ga [Bogard, 1995; Kring and Cohen, 2002].”
- The timeline of the lunar bombardment: Revisited (2018, background): “There would be no prominent ometary bombardment during the LHB, consistent with the lack f corresponding chemical signatures in the lunar samples of the ime ( Kring and Cohen, 2002; Galenas et al., 2011 ).”
- A sawtooth-like timeline for the first billion years of lunar bombardment (2012, background): “This suggests that comets did not play a major role in the ancient bombardment (Kring and Cohen, 2002; Galenas et al., 2011).”
