The Dynamical State of the Didymos System before and after the DART Impact

The Planetary Science Journal
NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft impacted Dimorphos, the natural satellite of (65803) Didymos, on 2022 September 26, as a first successful test of kinetic impactor technology for deflecting a potentially hazardous object in space.

Effect of Irregular Particle Shape in Simulations of Tidal Disruption and Reaccumulation of Small Solar System Bodies

The Planetary Science Journal
Small solar system bodies subjected to planetary tides may be resurfaced, distorted, reshaped, split into binary or higher-multiple systems, or fragmented entirely. We investigate the effects of particle shape on numerical models of tidal deformation and

The Perturbed Full Two-body Problem: Application to Post-DART Didymos

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
With the successful impact of the NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft in the Didymos–Dimorphos binary asteroid system, we provide an initial analysis of the post-impact perturbed binary asteroid dynamics.

BYORP and Dissipation in Binary Asteroids: Lessons from DART

The Planetary Science Journal
The near-Earth binary asteroid Didymos was the target of the planetary defense demonstration mission DART in 2022 September. The smaller binary component, Dimorphos, was impacted by the spacecraft in order to measure momentum transfer in kinetic impacts ...

DART Impact Ejecta Plume Evolution: Implications for Dimorphos

The Planetary Science Journal
The NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft impacted the moon Dimorphos of the [65803] Didymos binary system and changed the binary orbit period, demonstrating asteroid deflection by a kinetic impact and indicating that more momentum was ...

Ejecta Evolution Following a Planned Impact into an Asteroid: The First Five Weeks

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The impact of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft into Dimorphos, moon of the asteroid Didymos, changed Dimorphos’s orbit substantially, largely from the ejection of material.
