Comparison of tail textures using NAC images, ShadowCam, and m-χ decomposition. (a) m-χ image of a crater with a radar tail containing boulders located at 86.759°S, 172.54°E (Mini-RF collect: lsz_04746_1cd_xku_87s176). (b) Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) context image of the same area shown in (a) located in a PSR. (c) ShadowCam image M060785604S; boulders are indicated with red arrows. (d) M-χ image of a crater with a radar tail showing a trace of smaller craters located at 48.801°S, 342.358°E (Mini-RF collect: lsz_04902_1cd_xku_50s343). (e) WAC context image of the same area shown in (d). (f) NAC image M17752927LC; the trace of small craters is indicated with magenta arrows. (g) M-χ image of an area with craters that exhibit radar tails located at 27.845°S, 340.505°E, where no surface structures are observed that could explain the enhanced radar tails (Mini-RF collect: lsz_02990_1cd_xku_21s341). (h) WAC context image of the area shown in (g). (i) NAC image M1456353866R; the area corresponding to the extent of the tail is indicated with magenta arrows, and no surface structures are observed.
