Lessons learned from NASA's DART impact about disrupting rubble-pile asteroids
S. D. Raducan, M. Jutzi, C. C. Merrill +4
We present a series of numerical simulations using a shock physics smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code, investigating energetic impacts on small celestial bodies characteris…
Physical properties of asteroid Dimorphos as derived from the DART impact
S. D. Raducan, M. Jutzi, A. F. Cheng +39
On September 26, 2022, NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission successfully impacted Dimorphos, the natural satellite of the binary near-Earth asteroid (65803) Didym…
Direct -body simulations of satellite formation around small asteroids: insights from DART's encounter with the Didymos system
Harrison F. Agrusa, Yun Zhang, Derek C. Richardson +18
We explore binary asteroid formation by spin-up and rotational disruption considering the NASA DART mission's encounter with the Didymos-Dimorphos binary, which was the first small…
An efficient numerical approach to modeling the effects of particle shape on rubble-pile dynamics
Julian C. Marohnic, Joseph V. DeMartini, Derek C. Richardson +2
We present an approach for the inclusion of non-spherical constituents in high-resolution N-body discrete element method (DEM) simulations. We use aggregates composed of bonded sph…
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…
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…
