Abstract
- Sesquinary mass influx is capable of significant impact to the surface geology of Phobos. This can exceed the flux of solar system impactors.
- Sesquinary impacts have likely controlled the surface properties of Phobos for the last 20-25Â million years.
- The top â¼30â¯cm of Phobos regolith may largely consist of reaccreted sesquinary ejecta material.
