Fig. 6: Didymos-dimorphos surface coverage maps for December spectra.

a Didymos surface coverage maps for all the spectra acquired in December. The illuminated and observable surface area at the acquisition time of each spectrum is filled with the same color used for the spectrum (see Fig. 2 for the corresponding spectra). See “Methods” section for details of the computation. b Dimorphos surface coverage maps for spectra from #11 to #16 and from #20 to #23 (Table 1) when Dimorphos is not eclipsed or occulted.
