Structure of the Deep Impact Ejecta Cloud Studied Through its Shade on the Nucleus of Comet 9P/Tempel 1
Abstract
The MRI images show a shadow that the Deep Impact ejecta cloud cast on the nucleus of comet 9P/Tempel 1. We present radiative-transfer modeling of the shadow that reveals the structure of the cloud and temporal variations in the ejected material.
