兹威基环形山(Zwicky)是月球背面一座古老的大型撞击坑,约形成于前酒海纪[1],其名称取自瑞士天文学家弗里茨·茨维基(1898年-1974年),1979年被国际天文联合会正式批准接受。

描述

[编辑]

该陨坑位于艾特肯环形山西侧;东南与大陨石坑-费尔特拉格特环形山接壤;南侧连接了亥维赛环形山[2]。该环形山的中心月面坐标16°10′S 167°38′E / 16.17°S 167.64°E / -16.17; 167.64,直径126.06公里[3],深度4.48公里[1]

兹威基环形山坑底地表较周围高地幽暗,中间坐落着卫星坑兹威基 N,该座小陨坑外观呈多边形状,内侧壁较为平滑,坑底地表开裂,反照率较低。据认为这种地面可能是熔融物质冷却或构造运动所致,现被非正式地称为“龟甲陨坑地面”。

该环形山的名称取自于帕萨迪纳市加利福尼亚理工学院教授、天文学家弗里茨·茨维基,一位专注于超新星星系团研究的先驱,小行星兹威基 1803就是以他的名字命名的[4]
