Modeling the Formation of Selk Impact Crater on Titan: Implications for Dragonfly

Selk crater is an ∼80 km diameter impact crater on the Saturnian icy satellite Titan. Melt pools associated with impact craters like Selk provide environments where liquid water and organics can mix and produce biomolecules like amino acids. It is partly for this reason that the Selk region has been...
