Thermal anomalies on pit craters and sinuous rilles of Arsia Mons: Possible signatures of atmospheric gas circulation in the volcano

Seven circular depressions named as pit craters were found in northern flank of Arsia Mons, and we report 76 new ones in the southern flank of the volcano. Their diameters range from 100 m to 1300 m and depths range from 22 to 500 m. THEMIS‐IR data reveal that some of these pit craters are 10 K warm...
