Extended Data Fig. 7: Large craters and surface slope on Bennu.

From: Crater population on asteroid (101955) Bennu indicates impact armouring and a young surface

Extended Data Fig. 7

A comparison between the fractional area covered by craters ≥ 20 m diameter (black line, left-hand axis) and the median surface slope (green line, right-hand axis) as a function of latitude. Unlike the small craters, which are not correlated with slope and latitude (Extended Data Figure 2), the abundance of larger craters is correlated with latitude and slope.
