Radau is an impact crater in the Oxia Palus quadrangle of Mars,
located 17.1° N and 4.8° W. It measures 114.5 kilometers in diameter and was named for Rodolphe Radau, a French astronomer (1835–1911).
Impact craters generally have a rim with ejecta around them, in contrast volcanic craters usually do not have a rim or ejecta deposits.
As craters get larger (greater than 10 km in diameter) they usually have a central peak.
The peak is caused by a rebound of the crater floor following the impact.
