Concentric craters on the Moon

This page serves for systematization and browsing through images of lunar concentric craters. The numeration is from the dissertation of David Trang, 2014 (p. 146–149), the most complete catalogue as for 2014, which contains 114 such craters. Size and coordinates were measured in JMARS. Numbers from the historical list by Charles A. Wood, 1978 are also given (it contains 51 features, some of which later turned out to be non-concentric).

The page is up-to-date as for 04.11.2014
