Spitzer spectral observations of the deep impact ejecta.

Spitzer Space Telescope imaging spectrometer observations of comet 9P/Tempel 1 during the Deep Impact encounter returned detailed, highly structured, 5- to 35-micrometer spectra of the ejecta. Emission signatures due to amorphous and crystalline silicates, amorphous carbon, carbonates, phyllosilicates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, water gas and ice, and sulfides were found. Good agreement ...

Measuring Dust Production in the Small Magellanic Cloud Core-collapse Supernova Remnant 1e0102.2−7219

We present mid-infrared spectral mapping observations of the core-collapse supernova remnant 1E 0102.2−7219 in the Small Magellanic Cloud using the InfraRed Spectrograph (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The remnant shows emission from fine structure transitions of neon and oxygen as well as continuum emission from dust. Comparison of the mid-IR dust emission with observations at x-ray, rad...

The United Kingdom Infrared Telescope Deep Impact observations: Light curve, ejecta expansion rates and water spectral features

We present results from the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope observations of the impact of Deep Impact with Comet 9P/Tempel 1, on July 4, 2005 UT. These observations were carried out in conjunction with the worldwide observing campaign co-ordinated by K.J. Meech [Meech, K.J., and 208 colleagues, 2005. Science 310, 265–269]. The UKIRT team was the first to observe and announce the successful im...

The Deep Impact encounter with the nucleus of 9P/Tempel ejected small grains (a . 10 μm) into the comet’s coma, evidenced by thermal emission from small dust grains at mid-infrared wavelengths (λ ∼ 10 μm) and dynamical simulations of optical images. Meteor-sized particles (a & 100 μm) ejected by the impact will likely have the lowest ejection velocities and will weakly interact with solar radia...

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

In July of 2005, the Deep Impact mission collided a 366 kg impactor with the nucleus of Comet 9P/Tempel 1, at a closing speed of 10.2 km s−1. In this work, we develop a first-order, three-dimensional, forward model of the ejecta plume behavior resulting from this cratering event, and then adjust the model parameters to match the flyby-spacecraft observations of the actual ejecta plume, image by...
