VLT/MUSE Characterisation of Dimorphos Ejecta from the DART Impact
Brian P. Murphy, Cyrielle Opitom, Colin Snodgrass +8
We have observed the Didymos-Dimorphos binary system with the MUSE integral field unit spectrograph mounted at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) pre and post-DART impact, and captured…
Photometry of the Didymos system across the DART impact apparition
Nicholas Moskovitz, Cristina Thomas, Petr Pravec +78
On 26 September 2022, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft impacted Dimorphos, the satellite of binary near-Earth asteroid (65803) Didymos. This demonstrated the…
Near-IR Spectral Observations of the Didymos System -- Daily Evolution Before and After the DART Impact, Indicates Dimorphos Originated from Didymos
David Polishook, Francesca E. DeMeo, Brian J. Burt +4
Ejecta from Dimorphos following the DART mission impact, significantly increased the brightness of the Didymos-Dimorphos system, allowing us to examine sub-surface material. We rep…
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…
Near to Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy of (65803) Didymos as observed by JWST: Characterization Observations Supporting the Double Asteroid Redirection Test
Andrew S. Rivkin, Cristina A. Thomas, Ian Wong +17
The Didymos binary asteroid was the target of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission, which intentionally impacted Dimorphos, the smaller member of the binary system.…
The DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP) VI: first multi-year observations of trans-Neptunian objects
Hayden Smotherman, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Stephen K. N. Portillo +25
We present the first set of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) observed on multiple nights in data taken from the DECam Ecliptic Exploration Project (DEEP). Of these 110 TNOs, 105 do n…
