Example of crater populations generated for an asteroid of size comparable to Dimorphos. We constrain the distribution by setting exactly one crater at the largest size (here 100 m). We then estimate the number of craters at smaller sizes with a cumulative power-law distribution (dotted line). Discrete points show several crater populations generated from our inversion sampling method. Deviations from the ideal power law are due to the nature of fitting a discrete population to a continuous cumulative function. The colored area represents the 95% confidence interval.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
