Topic: The Age and Cratering History of Phobos.
Key Questions:
- How do we obtain an age from a planetary surface unit in general?
- How Do we convert the lunar chronology from the Moon to Phobos?
- What are the dynamical constraints for the proposed chronology systems for Phobos?
- How do we to interpret the found ages on Phobos’ surface?
