Additional Information
- Depth data from Kurt Fisher database
- Westfall, 2000: 3.97 km
- Cherrington, 1969: 2.28 km
- Satellite craters Hagecius K is radar bright at 70 cm.
Nomenclature
- Named for Thaddaeus Hayek (December 1, 1525 - September 1, 1600), the personal physician of the Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II and a Czech astronomer. He published his studies of a supernova in the constellation Cassiopeia in 1572. Hayek was in frequent scientific correspondence with the recognized astronomer Tycho Brahe and played an important role in persuading Rudolph II to invite Brahe (and later Kepler) to Prague.
- According to Whitaker (p. 212) this name was originally introduced on Riccioli's map; however Riccioli used it to label the feature we now call Hommel. Whitaker does not explain when or how the name became associated with the present feature.
