It has a peak on its E. rim considerably loftier than the rest of the wall, which is visible as a brilliant spot at sunrise long before the rest of the rampart is illuminated.

Description: Elger
(IAU Directions) CAUCHY.--A bright little crater, not more than 7 or 8 miles in diameter, on the E. side of the Mare Tranquillitatis, N.W. of Taruntius. It has a peak on its E. rim considerably loftier than the rest of the wall, which is visible as a brilliant spot at sunrise long before the rest of the rampart is illuminated. On the S. there are two bright longitudinal ridges ranging from N.W. to S.E. These stand in the position where Neison draws two straight clefts. The Cauchy cleft, however, lies N. of these, and terminates, as shown by Schmidt, among the mountains N.W. of Taruntius. I have seen it thus on many occasions, and it is so represented in a drawing by M.W. Stuvaert (Dessins de la Lune). There is a number of minute craters and mounds standing on the S. side of this cleft, and many others in the vicinity.

Nomenclature
- Named for Augustin Louis Cauchy (August 21, 1789 – May 23, 1857), a French mathematician. He started the project of formulating and proving the theorems of calculus in a rigorous manner and was thus an early pioneer of analysis.
- According to Whitaker (p. 223), this name was introduced by Neison.
- On LTO-61B4 (prepared in November 1973) the DMA erroneously introduced the name Noether for the satellite feature Cauchy D. The name Noether (spelled there "Nöther (or Nöter)") had actually been previously approved by the IAU for an unrelated farside crater, and had been published in Menzel, 1971. Hence the use of Noether as a replacement for Cauchy D appears in Ewen Whitaker's list of Invalid Names.
- Cauchy A is called Hussein on LTO-61A2. This is another invalid name. Who was Hussein? See this Wikipedia-page.
- Hussein (Cauchy A) is one of the few LTO-related "new" crater-names which are located at the moon's Near Side. Most of those names are located at the moon's eastern limb (near Mare Smythii), and at the moon's Far Side. - DannyCaes DannyCaes Mar 29, 2008
- Cauchy D hills (a nickname from D.Caes for the cluster of hills north-northeast of the bowl-shaped crater Cauchy D, at the western part of Sinus Concordiae) (these hills seem to be sections of an ancient crater, see SLC-A4) (System of Lunar Craters).
