Dynamical evolution and surface accretion of DART impact ejecta in the (65803) Didymos system

Xiaoyu Fu, Nicolo Stronati, Stefania Soldini +6

The DART spacecraft impacted Dimorphos, the small moonlet of Didymos binary system, on 26 September 2022. The impact ejected dust, fragments, and boulders into the near-binary envi…

Characterization of the ejecta from NASA/DART impact on Dimorphos: observations and Monte Carlo models

Fernando Moreno, Adriano Campo Bagatin, Gonzalo Tancredi +26

The NASA/DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft successfully crashed on Dimorphos, the secondary component of the binary (65803) Didymos system. Following the impact, a…

Ejecta from the DART-produced active asteroid Dimorphos

Jian-Yang Li, Masatoshi Hirabayashi, Tony L. Farnham +61

Some active asteroids have been proposed to be the result of impact events. Because active asteroids are generally discovered serendipitously only after their tail formation, the p…

After DART: Using the first full-scale test of a kinetic impactor to inform a future planetary defense mission

Thomas S. Statler, Sabina D. Raducan, Olivier S. Barnouin +38

NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is the first full-scale test of an asteroid deflection technology. Results from the hypervelocity kinetic impact and Earth-based obse…

Predictions for the Dynamical States of the Didymos System before and after the Planned DART Impact

Derek C. Richardson, Harrison F. Agrusa, Brent Barbee +33

NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft is planned to impact the natural satellite of (65803) Didymos, Dimorphos, around 23:14 UTC on 26 September 2022, causing a…

Evolution of an asteroid family under YORP, Yarkovsky and collisions

Francesco Marzari, Alessandro Rossi, Oleksiy Golubov +1

Any population of asteroids, like asteroid families, will disperse in semi-major axis due to the Yarkovsky effect. The amount of drift is modulated by the asteroid spin state evolu…
