Abstract—
The article provides a description of the crater in the marginal zone of the southern polar region of the Moon with the coordinates of the center 126.59° W, 64.32° S The diameter of the crater is 34 km. It has a fractured bottom, which is considered a sign of magma intrusion into the subcrater space. The absolute age of formation of the crater under study was estimated to be ~3.85 billion years based on the spatial density of small craters superimposed on its rim. In the vicinity of the studied crater, low-iron anorthosite material is predominant. It can be argued that the basin of the crater under study is very dry compared to its surroundings. A significant loss of hydrogen/water and its redistribution from the bottom of the crater to the area around the crater could be caused by reworking of the surface due to the intrusion of magma under the crater, traces of which can be traced by the presence of cracks on the bottom of the crater.
期刊介绍：
Solar System Research publishes articles concerning the bodies of the Solar System, i.e., planets and their satellites, asteroids, comets, meteoric substances, and cosmic dust. The articles consider physics, dynamics and composition of these bodies, and techniques of their exploration. The journal addresses the problems of comparative planetology, physics of the planetary atmospheres and interiors, cosmochemistry, as well as planetary plasma environment and heliosphere, specifically those related to solar-planetary interactions. Attention is paid to studies of exoplanets and complex problems of the origin and evolution of planetary systems including the solar system, based on the results of astronomical observations, laboratory studies of meteorites, relevant theoretical approaches and mathematical modeling. Alongside with the original results of experimental and theoretical studies, the journal publishes scientific reviews in the field of planetary exploration, and notes on observational results.
