Apex/antapex ratio of the crater density generated by the current impactors in related works compared with ours. Our relation between Nc(apex) /Nc(antapex) and aM with venc = 22.1 km s-1 and αp = 1.75 (solid curve) is close to the empirical one in Le Feuvre & Wieczorek (2011), which works for aM = 20−60 R⊕ (Eq. (2); dashed curve); the former with venc = 19.7 km s-1 and αp = 2.59 (dotted curve) is even nearly equal to the latter in its working range. Simulation results from Gallant et al. (2009) and Ito & Malhotra (2010) assuming the current lunar orbit (triangle and square) are also indicated.
