Polarimetry of Didymos–Dimorphos: Unexpected Long-term Effects of the DART Impact

Polarimetry of Didymos–Dimorphos: Unexpected Long-term Effects of the DART Impact

We have monitored the Didymos–Dimorphos binary system in imaging polarimetric mode before and after the impact from the Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission. A previous spectropolarimetric study showed that the impact caused a dramatic drop in polarization. Our longer-term monitoring shows that...
