Circularity of Martian craters.

Abstract

A modified method of calculating crater circularity based on the average deviation of crater radius from mean radius is presented and used to calculate circularity of Martian craters. Calculation of the circularity indices of over 200 Martian craters yields values similar to circularity indices of terrestrial meteorite craters and different from indices of terrestrial calderas.
