    The origin of the grooves on Phobos (1977)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Various theories for the long, linear depressions on the surface of Phobos are reviewed. Imagery from Viking Orbiters is used to map the surface distribution of the grooves, study their morphology, and date them by means of the density of superimposed impact craters. Data is presented which tends to support the hypothesis that the deep-seated fracturing was caused by a large, nearly catastrophic cratering event. It is suggested that the grooves were produced during the creation of the Stickney crater, rather than as the result of tidal stresses induced by Mars or by drag forces during the hypothetical capture of the satellite by Mars.
