Title - A ballistics analysis of the Deep Impact ejecta plume: Determining Comet Tempel 1’s gravity, mass, and density

By - James Richardson et al, 2007

Summary - The Deep Impact produced a reasonably “well-behaved” oblique-impact cratering event. The resulting ejecta plume followed well-established scaling relationships for cratering in a medium-to-high porosity target material, consistent with a transient crater of not more than 85–140 m diameter, formed in not more than 250–550 s, for the case of Y = 0 Pa (gravity-dominated cratering), and not less than 22–26 m diameter, formed in not less than 1–3 s, for the case of Y = 10 kPa (strength-dominated cratering).
