    Measurements of boulders ejected in the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) impact
    (2025-01-17) Farnham, Tony
    This data collection contains tables that provide measurements of the positions and brightnesses of meter-sized boulders that were ejected when the Double Asteroid Impact Test (DART) spacecraft crashed into Dimorphos, the moon of asteroid (65803) Didymos on September 26, 2022. The measurements come from the LICIACube Unit Key Explorer (LUKE) instrument on board the LICIACube spacecraft that flew by the Didymos system about 3 minutes after the impact event. The positions table provides the pixel locations of each boulder in the images where it was detected, while the photometry table gives the brightness for each boulder in each of the images where it was measured.
