Ejecta Evolution Following a Planned Impact into an Asteroid: The First Five Weeks

Theodore Kareta, Cristina Thomas, Jian-Yang Li +85

The impact of the DART spacecraft into Dimorphos, moon of the asteroid Didymos, changed Dimorphos' orbit substantially, largely from the ejection of material. We present results fr…
