Impact disruption of Bjurböle porous chondritic projectile
Tomas Kohout, Maurizio Pajola, Assi-Johanna Soini +10
The ~200 m/s impact of a single 400-kg Bjurböle L/LL ordinary chondrite meteorite onto sea ice resulted in the catastrophic disruption of the projectile. This resulted in a signifi…
Macro-scale roughness reveals the complex history of asteroids Didymos and Dimorphos
Jean-Baptiste Vincent, Erik Asphaug, Olivier Barnouin +22
Morphological mapping is a fundamental step in studying the processes that shaped an asteroid surface. Yet, it is challenging and often requires multiple independent assessments by…
Asteroid (101955) Bennu in the Laboratory: Properties of the Sample Collected by OSIRIS-REx
Dante S. Lauretta, Harold C. Connolly, Joseph E. Aebersold +50
On 24 September 2023, the NASA OSIRIS-REx mission dropped a capsule to Earth containing approximately 120 g of pristine carbonaceous regolith from Bennu. We describe the delivery a…
Physical properties of asteroid Dimorphos as derived from the DART impact
S. D. Raducan, M. Jutzi, A. F. Cheng +39
On September 26, 2022, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission successfully impacted Dimorphos, the natural satellite of the binary near-Earth asteroid (65803) Didym…
Direct -body simulations of satellite formation around small asteroids: insights from DART's encounter with the Didymos system
Harrison F. Agrusa, Yun Zhang, Derek C. Richardson +18
We explore binary asteroid formation by spin-up and rotational disruption considering the NASA DART mission's encounter with the Didymos-Dimorphos binary, which was the first small…
