Fig. 4: Global deformation of Dimorphos.
From: Physical properties of asteroid Dimorphos as derived from the DART impact
a, Total target mass ejected with speeds above vesc and total target mass displaced or ejected below vesc, normalized by the initial target mass MT for a Dimorphos-like target with f = 0.55, ϕ0 = 45% and cohesion levels between Y0 = 0 and 50 Pa. b, Two-dimensional slices (taken at x = 0 in the y–z plane and at z = 0 in the x–y plane), at T ≈ 1 h after the impact. The boulder material is shown in yellow and the matrix material is shown in blue. The red contours show the initial target profile before the impact. The black arrows show the impact direction.
