Optical monitoring of the Didymos-Dimorphos asteroid system with the Danish telescope around the DART mission impact
Agata Rożek, Colin Snodgrass, Uffe G. Jørgensen +26
The NASA's Double-Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) was a unique planetary defence and technology test mission, the first of its kind. The main spacecraft of the DART mission impact…
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…
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…
The Perturbed Full Two-Body Problem: Application to Post-DART Didymos
Alex J. Meyer, Harrison F. Agrusa, Derek C. Richardson +19
With the successful impact of the NASA DART spacecraft in the Didymos-Dimorphos binary asteroid system, we provide an initial analysis of the post-impact perturbed binary asteroid…
Implications for the Formation of 2005 UD from a New Convex Shape Model
Jay K. Kueny, Colin Orion Chandler, Maxime Devogèle +15
(155140) 2005 UD has a similar orbit to (3200) Phaethon, an active asteroid in a highly eccentric orbit thought to be the source of the Geminid meteor shower. Evidence points to a…
Successful Kinetic Impact into an Asteroid for Planetary Defense
R. Terik Daly, Carolyn M. Ernst, Olivier S. Barnouin +98
While no known asteroid poses a threat to Earth for at least the next century, the catalog of near-Earth asteroids is incomplete for objects whose impacts would produce regional de…
Orbital Period Change of Dimorphos Due to the DART Kinetic Impact
Cristina A. Thomas, Shantanu P. Naidu, Peter Scheirich +46
The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft successfully performed the first test of a kinetic impactor for asteroid deflection by impacting Dimorphos, the secondary of…
Dark Comets? Unexpectedly Large Nongravitational Accelerations on a Sample of Small Asteroids
Darryl Z. Seligman, Davide Farnocchia, Marco Micheli +15
We report statistically significant detections of non-radial nongravitational accelerations based on astrometric data in the photometrically inactive objects 1998 KY, 2005 V…
