Abstract The impact of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test spacecraft into Dimorphos, moon asteroid Didymos, changed Dimorphos’s orbit substantially, largely from ejection material. We present results 12 Earth-based facilities involved in a world-wide campaign to monitor brightness and morphology ejecta first 35 days after impact. After an initial brightening ∼1.4 mag, we find consistent dimming rates 0.11–0.12 mag day −1 week, 0.08–0.09 over entire study period. system returned its...
Abstract The LCO Outbursting Objects Key (LOOK) Project uses the telescopes of Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) Network to (1) systematically monitor a sample previously discovered over whole sky, assess evolutionary state these distant remnants from early solar system, and (2) use alerts existing sky surveys rapidly respond characterize detected outburst activity in all small bodies. data gathered on outbursts helps each outburst’s evolution with time, frequency magnitude distribution general,...
The impact of the DART spacecraft into Dimorphos, moon asteroid Didymos, changed Dimorphos' orbit substantially, largely from ejection material. We present results twelve Earth-based facilities involved in a world-wide campaign to monitor brightness and morphology ejecta first 35 days after impact. After an initial brightening ~1.4 magnitudes, we find consistent dimming rates 0.11-0.12 magnitudes/day week, 0.08-0.09 over entire study period. system returned its pre-impact 24.3-25.3 through...

<p>CC is now expanding to provide resources meet the needs of CfW and Welsh language. was first implemented in September 2021, shifting educational focus from content-based learning skills-based learning, giving teachers more freedom regarding contents their lessons. This brings novel complications, like difficulty preparing stimulating lessons while also including required skills. CC aims solve these problems by supplying with a variety easy-to-follow lesson plans,...
