Mercury's Impact structure inventory

<h4>This data set display an inventory of impact structures larger than 100 km on Mercury. The gravity measurements were determined using a amore precise approach of calculating the avearge of multiple profiles along the impact structure.</h4> <h4>Variables:</h4> <ol> <li><strong>ID</strong>: Identification number or the name of the impact structure.</li> <li><strong>Diam (km)</strong>: The diameter of the impact structure in kilometers.</li> <li><strong>Lon</strong>: Central longitude.</li> <li><strong>Lat</strong>: Central latitude.</li> <li><strong>Id_source:&nbsp;</strong>Primarly identification source ( Gravity data / DTM/ Mosaic model).</li> <li><strong>Certainity</strong>: Grade of certainity ( Certain, probable or tentative).</li> <li><strong>Class</strong> : Geomorphological classification (complex, central peak basins, peak ring basin, multi ring basins, modified basin).</li> <li><strong>Terraces</strong>: Presence of terraces.&nbsp;</li> <li><strong>Rim</strong>: Rim preservation state.</li> <li><strong>Depth [km]</strong>: Depth measurements in km.</li> <li><strong>D/d</strong>:&nbsp; Depth to diameter ratio.</li> <li><strong>Filling</strong>: Presence of volcanis infill.</li> <li><strong>Smooth plains</strong>: Filling classified as part of the smooth plains.</li> <li><strong>Bouguer_center</strong>: Measured Bouguer anomaly (mGal) of LOS gravity model (Goossens et al., 2022) associated with the center of the impact structure.</li> <li><strong>Bouguer_outer</strong>: Measured Bouguer anomaly (mGal) of LOS gravity model (Goossens et al., 2022) associated with the outer area of the impact structure.</li> <li><strong>Bouguer_rimcrest</strong>: Measured Bouguer anomaly (mGal) of LOS gravity model (Goossens et al., 2022) associated with the rim area of the impact structure.&nbsp;</li> <li><strong>Bouguer_contrast: </strong>Bouguer anomaly contrast (mGal).</li> <li><strong>Stdev_center</strong>: Standard deviation of the Bouguer anomaly in the center.</li> <li><strong>Stdev_outer</strong>: Standard deviation of the Bouguer anomaly in the outer area.</li> <li><strong>Stdev_rimcrest</strong>: Standard deviation of the Bouguer anomaly at the rimcrest.</li> <li><strong>CC</strong>: Crater counts of N(20).</li> <li><strong>Area</strong>: The area of the basin in km&sup2;.</li> <li>N(20)/Area: Value that refelcts the relative age of impact structures.</li> <li><strong>CT_center</strong>: &nbsp;Measured crustal thickness (km) associated with the center of the impact structure.</li> <li><strong>CT_outer</strong>: &nbsp;Measured crustal thickness (km) associated with the outer area of the impact structure.</li> <li><strong>CT_rim: </strong>Measured crustal thickness (km) associated with the rim area of the impact structure.</li> <li><strong>Temperature [K]:&nbsp;</strong>Crustal temperature of impact structures at 39.4km depth at 3.0 Ga.</li> </ol>
