  • IAU page: Neison
  • Depth data from Kurt Fisher database
    • Westfall, 2000: 1.6 km
    • Cherrington, 1969: 2.4 km
  • Measures on LRO QuickMap give ave depth about 1.2 km
  • The shadow in LO-IV-104H indicates the east rim of Neison is 1250-1400 km above the flat floor (increasing to the south). The ring around Meton C is of similar elevation at its highest points. 9-km diameter Neison A (on the southeast rim) is also a little over 1200 m deep.
