Notes. The table lists: collision velocity vi in kilometers per second, transition crater diameter between the strength and gravity regimes Dl, largest impactor diameter dm and largest crater diameter Dm on the surface of the satellite due to the Centaur population, considering both indexes of the distribution s2 = 2.5 and s2 = 3.5, all expressed in kilometers. For Aegaeon, the absence of impact craters for the distribution index s2 = 2.5 is indicated bya dash “-”.
