The distribution of impactor core material during large impacts on Earth-like planets
Jonathan P. Itcovitz, Auriol S. P. Rae, Thomas M. Davison +2
Large impacts onto young rocky planets may transform their compositions, creating highly reducing conditions at their surfaces and reintroducing highly siderophile metals to their…
Momentum Transfer from the DART Mission Kinetic Impact on Asteroid Dimorphos
Andrew F. Cheng, Harrison F. Agrusa, Brent W. Barbee +66
The NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission performed a kinetic impact on asteroid Dimorphos, the satellite of the binary asteroid (65803) Didymos, at 23:14 UTC on Sep…
Effects of impact and target parameters on the results of a kinetic impactor: predictions for the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission
Angela M. Stickle, Mallory E. DeCoster, Christoph Burger +30
The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft will impact into the asteroid Dimorphos on September 26, 2022 as a test of the kinetic impactor technique for planetary defen…
Complex crater formation by oblique impacts on the Earth and Moon
T. M. Davison, G. S. Collins
Almost all meteorite impacts occur at oblique incidence angles, but the effect of impact angle on crater size is not well understood, especially for large craters. To improve obliq…
Influence of the projectile geometry on the momentum transfer from a kinetic impactor and implications for the DART mission
S. D. Raducan, M. Jutzi, T. M. Davison +5
The DART spacecraft will impact Didymos's secondary, Dimorphos, at the end of 2022 and cause a change in the orbital period of the secondary. For simplicity, most previous numerica…
Jetting during oblique impacts of spherical impactors
Shigeru Wakita, Brandon Johnson, C. Adeene Denton +1
During the early stages of an impact a small amount material may be jetted and ejected at speeds exceeding the impact velocity. Jetting is an important process for producing melt d…
