The boulder population of asteroid 4 Vesta

These are data described in the paper "The boulder population of asteroid 4 Vesta: Size-frequency distribution and survival time" by Schröder et al., submitted to Earth & Space Science (Wiley). The data concern boulder counts for craters on the asteroid Vesta.

Boulder counts for all 69 craters in Table 1 of the paper are provided as text files with 3 columns: (1) longitude and (2) latitude, both in degrees, and (3) boulder diameter in meters. Generally, boulder identifications are only reliable above 3 image pixels (60 m), but the data files contain all boulders that we (tentatively) identified, including those smaller than 60 m.

We also provide figures in PDF format, one for each crater, of the spatial boulder distribution. The figures have the format of Fig. 6 in the paper: Green, small dots represent boulders with a size between 3 and 4 pixels (60 m < d < 80 m). Red, large dots represent boulders larger than 4 pixels (d > 80 m). Boulders smaller than 60 m are not shown.
