Additional Information
Depth data from Kurt Fisher database
- Westfall, 2000: 5 km
- Cherrington, 1969: 2.98 km
Nomenclature
- Greek philosopher (fl. 2nd century A.D.). Named by Schmidt.
- Called Jungnitz by Franz, but Schmidt's older name (Demonax) was accepted. See Ewen A. Whitaker's Mapping and Naming the Moon, p 225.
- Demonax A seems to have been called Cortes by Hugh P. Wilkins and Patrick Moore. Alas, as with most of the names of both Wilkins and Moore, almost none of their list were accepted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
