Young lunar volcanic features: Thermophysical properties and formation

Irregular mare patches (IMPs) are small volcanic features on the lunar nearside with young model ages. Several formation mechanisms have been proposed including: caldera collapse, explosive outgassing, lava flow inflation, pyroclastic eruption, and regolith drainage. We present new observations of t...
