Popis:	The crater frequency is often used to determine ages of planetary surfaces. In this study, we evaluate the statistical fluctuation of the crater frequency and its effect on age determination using a Monte Carlo simulation prior to the SELENE (SELenological and Engineering Explorer: KAGUYA)/Terrain Camera (TC) acquiring extensive high-resolution images over the entire Moon. We found that the accuracy of age determination with TC images is three to five times better compared to Lunar Orbiter images. 資料番号: AA0063723010
