Optical Spectropolarimetry of Binary Asteroid Didymos–Dimorphos before and after the DART Impact

Optical Spectropolarimetry of Binary Asteroid Didymos–Dimorphos before and after the DART Impact

We have monitored the Didymos–Dimorphos binary asteroid in spectropolarimetric mode in the optical range before and after the DART impact. The ultimate goal was to obtain constraints on the characteristics of the ejected dust for modeling purposes. Before impact, Didymos exhibited a linear polarizat...
