Modelling the impact of DART on the asteroid Dimorphos reveals its rubble-pile structure
Nature Astronomy, Published online: 12 March 2024; doi:10.1038/s41550-024-02208-9
The successful impact of NASA’s DART on Dimorphos, the moon of asteroid Didymos, has been analysed using advanced numerical simulations. The results reveal the asteroid’s low surface cohesion and rubble-pile structure, similar to what has been observed on asteroids Ryugu and Bennu.
