The asteroid #Didymos may be spinning so fast it is flinging off rubble @arxiv https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0019103523000982 https://phys.org/news/2023-03-asteroid-didymos-fast-rubble.html

Astrophysik: Asteroid #Didymos wirft mit Steinchen
#DART-Mission konnte diesen Vorgang kurz vor ihrem Ende aufzeichnen. Sie beobachtete dabei eine außergewöhnliche Erscheinung.

Derick Richardson: Dimorphous more oblate than prolate. Impact generated a lot of ejecta, 3x more momentum transfer than the spacecraft itself. Still looking at change to rotation rate.

Occultation measurements can measure heliocentric beta! Occultations, as always, are awesome.

Cristina Thomas on ground observing #Didymos . Started in 2015, tons of pre impact observations, including mutual events. Few sites got the impact itself, because over Indian Ocean. Preimpact 96% primary body, post impact 2/3 ejecta; very similar, but slope change b/c fresher.

Period change -33 +/- 1 minute !!!
