Ejecta from the DART-produced active asteroid Dimorphos
Some active asteroids have been proposed to be formed as a result of impact events.
Because active asteroids are generally discovered by chance only after their tails have fully …

Global-scale resha** and resurfacing of asteroids by small-scale impacts, with applications to the DART and Hera missions
We use a novel approach to model the entire cratering process resulting from impacts on
small, weak asteroids that uses shock physics code calculations directly. We found that …
