Pre-impact Thermophysical Properties and the Yarkovsky Effect of NASA DART Target (65803) Didymos

Pre-impact Thermophysical Properties and the Yarkovsky Effect of NASA DART Target (65803) Didymos

The NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft impacted the secondary body of the binary asteroid (65803) Didymos on 2022 September 26 and altered its orbit about the primary body.
